Mission Statement

Mission

Saint Christopher Academy is dedicated to excellence in education, complemented by a strong moral and spiritual foundation within the tradition of the Catholic Church. We strive to develop students who are confident, independent, lifelong learners, who lead by example and live their lives with integrity and in service to God and others.

 

Philosophy

We believe:

  • Each person is a child of God deserving of respect.
  • A high quality Catholic education develops the whole child – spiritually, emotionally, academically, and socially -- including the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships, communication and leadership skills, and personal responsibilities.
  • Education and faith formation are most effective through continuous collaboration and mutual support between the school, the family, and the community.
  • Instruction and assessment must provide for the needs and abilities of students.
  • Community service is integral to the development of students’ awareness of the needs of others and their responsibility to the world in which they live.
  • Students are motivated by a committed and well-educated faculty, administration, and staff who are enthusiastic in their work and excited to share their knowledge while nurturing each child’s individual differences.
  • Our students’ education is enhanced through research, ongoing education, and implementation of best practices by faculty, administration and staff.
  • Children should explore, experiment, problem-solve, and invent in their everyday learning.
