Our Lady of Lourdes Parish School is committed to the pursuit of excellence in:

spiritual and academic education of our students

performance of our faculty and administration

participation of our parents in the educational process

We believe excellence to be attainable for each student by an honest and best effort to achieve potential. The parents of this community have chosen and support this educational alternative because we want this total formation of our children to take place in an environment which imparts to them the Christian faith as handed down in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.

We accept the many challenges of educating the multiple intelligences of the young child.

We intend to provide a program which offers to each student the opportunity to reach potential spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically. The program and environment shall be child centered. It shall respect the individual differences of each child. This requires a total commitment of our children, their parents, our educational and pastoral staffs, and the parish at large to actively live out their faith.

We believe parents, administration and staff members to be integral parts of the educational process. We expect each to strive in an active way to achieve potential as educator and Catholic role model.

We understand and shall respect the worth and dignity of each child. Further, it is our responsibility to see that each child recognizes his or her own value, and that each learns to understand and respect, as well, the worth and dignity of every other individual.

We intend our students to emerge from this formation with a sense of responsibility to society and commitment to be of service to others, and with a greater knowledge of Catholic faith traditions.
