Our Mission

Saint Lucy School for Children with Visual Impairments exists to provide a spiritual environment where education is based on faith and centered upon academic instruction and the Expanded Core Curriculum.  We believe that each child is endowed with diverse, valuable gifts; therefore, we empower students to realize their greatest potential so that they may fulfill their responsibility to serve God and others.

Principal’s Message

Welcome to our website!  Saint Lucy School is a small treasure situated in the Juniata section of the city of Philadelphia, PA.  Our school serves students with visual impairments/blindness who need accomodations such as magnification, assistive technology, and braille instruction in order to access the academic curriculum.  We believe that each child is precious and deserving of love and support from their teachers and peers in order to meet their individual needs.   Our school provides instruction in the Catholic faith and supports students as they prepare for the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.  Our faith is the center of each day as we strive to make each day a day of learning and growth.  We provide a strong emphasis on the Expanded Core Curriculum so that each child may grow to become independent.
