St. Alphonsus School Mission Statement
St. Alphonsus Parish School is a Christ-centered school providing Christian education and formation based on
Scripture and Catholic Tradition, preparing young persons to embrace the ministry of the Gospel in their lives.
We believe that it is our responsibility to nurture life-long growth in an environment that provides academic
excellence in all areas.
We exist, in partnership with the family, the parish, and the community, to develop the whole child in order to attain the life-skills necessary for Christian
cooperation and involvement in society, through respect for oneself, global society and the environment.
St. Alphonsus Philosophy of Education
We believe that…
The climate for effective learning must be one that provides a safe, encouraging, and
stimulating environment for children to learn modeled upon the ways that Jesus taught.
All students must experience success through varied learning modalities.
All people grow in a culture of Peace and Respect. Therefore, as responsible Christians,
we encourage one another to act with reverence toward God, ourselves, others, and our
world.
St. Alphonsus School Goals
We will:
Foster and encourage a Christ-centered culture through liturgy, prayer, religious
instruction, and a life-long love of learning rooted in Catholic values and the conviction
to follow them.
Establish a climate of respect in which students show reverence toward God and act
with respect for self, others, and the environment.
Create an environment that encourages students to become responsible and provides
opportunities for leadership and service to others.
Develop and maintain excellent academic programs that set high expectations which
challenge each student.
Develop the talents and interests of all students by differentiating instruction so that
creativity is fostered and individual needs are addressed.
Assess students based on the belief that learning is the process of acquiring and
applying knowledge, thinking critically to solve problems, and stimulating curiosity
through inquiry and discovery.
