Philosophy

St. Joan of Arc parish is deeply committed to Catholic education and the ministry of leading our students to become strong and responsible individuals, capable of making Christ-centered choices willingly.Therefore, St. Joan of Arc Catholic School prepares students to meet future challenges by fostering deep spiritual development and promoting academic success, based on individual abilities.

As catechists, teachers give witness to Christ, the Master Teacher, by their lives as well as their teaching. St. Joan of Arc educators commit to growing in their relationship with God and incorporating the Gospel in their professional and personal lives. Holding Jesus as a Model, the staff is committed to the development of Catholic values in our students.

hallRecognizing and respecting the role of parents as the primary educators of their children, the teachers assist parents with the Catholic faith formation of the family. Teachers, parents and administrators work as partners to form an ongoing relationship with God that is rooted in Gospel values.

St. Joan of Arc Catholic School staff is committed to:

  • Educate the whole child, blending learning with faith, to provide for the total development of each student in their spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth.
  • Teach the Gospel and church doctrine, celebrate through worship, and serve others.
  • Instill in our students a lifelong commitment to Catholic values and an awareness of their social and moral responsibility to respond to the needs of parish, local, and global communities.
  • Work in partnership with the St. Joan of Arc parish to fortify the Catholic Identity of our school community.
  • Celebrate the uniqueness and dignity of all persons through an appreciation of cultural diversity in our students.
