St. Ann School
Mission & Philosophy
School Mission Statement
St. Ann School exists to offer a Catholic
education rooted in a solid academic program and emphasizing positive
self-concept, self-discipline, and traditional Catholic values to the
children of St. Ann School.
SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
St. Ann School is committed to the
teaching of scripture, traditional Catholic beliefs, attitudes, and
Gospel values to its students, so they will be prepared to witness and
live as members of a Catholic parish and community.
Through active participation in parish
and community events we aim to nurture in our students a sense of
self-confidence, personal responsibility, and love of God, self and
others. As members of a community, a parish, a family, and St.
Ann School, we recognize the importance of promoting a positive
self-image within an atmosphere of mutual respect.
We view each person as a unique
composite of body and should with a need for total development.
We recognize that each child has different capabilities, needs, and
interest, and in a spirit of mutual respect, we strive to develop
these unique qualities through the use of varied methods, materials
and talents.
Students are encouraged to achieve high
standards of academic performance. St. Ann School offers a
sequentially developed curriculum with an emphasis on the basics and
offers enrichments which aim to develop student potential. All
teaching and actions are directed to assist the whole child to
successfully meet life and times in a contemporary world.
Recognizing that parents are the first
and foremost educators of the child, we work in cooperation with them
for the improvement of each child's education.
The organization, curriculum design and
total involvement of everyone who is a part of our school's efforts
and its related activities are dedicated to facilitating this
philosophy.
