We believe that parents, teachers, students, staff, and the parish community are partners in education.

We believe that self-esteem, self-advocacy, and spiritual well-being are keys to becoming a successful citizen.

We believe that instruction should be rigorous, cohesive, coherent, and tailored to meet the needs of each student.

We believe that children with sensory impairments, who are capable of completing the general school curriculum with adaptations for their impairment, should be educated along with their sighted and hearing peers.
