We believe
- In God Who is present in everyday reality and desires a personal relationship with each individual.
- In the inherent goodness of each person.
We believe that integral Catholic education fosters
- The development of the total person, attending to the moral, religious, social, intellectual, aesthetic, and physical dimensions.
- A personal relationship with God through experiences of faith, prayer, and sacramental and Marian life.
- Academic excellence.
- Critical thinking and decision-making skills based on Gospel values.
- Education to communication.
- Opportunities for developing skills and interests through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
We believe that
- Among the youth of the working class, there are many forms of poverty.
- Our response to this poverty occurs through formal and informal education and through formation to solidarity and service.
We believe that forming “good Christians and honest citizens” necessitates
- Assisting parents in the human and faith development of the young person.
- Helping the young to discover and freely live God’s plan in their lives.
- Educating to Catholic Social Teachings applied to current issues. Helping the young person in the development of a sense of responsible membership in the church and in society.
- Involving young people in the missionary, evangelizing dimension of the Church.
We believe that a Salesian ministry is characterized by the “family spirit,” which includes
- A family atmosphere in which everyone is welcomed, accepted, and respected
- The educator as a loving presence among the students.
- Active parental involvement as a necessary part of the educational process
- Shared responsibility and cordial collaboration among administration, faculty, and staff.
