PHILOSOPHY

We, the students, staff, and parents of SS. Peter & Paul School as a faith Community believe that each child comes to us with value given by God, nurtured by their families, and affirmed by our Catholic environment and spirit. We believe that we contribute to the growth of each child through the teaching of Catholic doctrine and values. We further believe that each child is best instructed through a basic curriculum which recognizes each student's individual needs and learning styles while striving for academic excellence, and personal growth. We believe that it is important that each student should have access to the tools and resources necessary to achieve this growth.

We believe the environment of our school community should be one of support of all aspects of the students' lives. Furthermore, this environment should recognize the importance of promoting responsible attitudes toward one's own actions, education and Christian response to others.

We believe all learning experiences at SS. Peter & Paul School should have as a goal, the committment to life long learning, while working for the betterment of our families, our school, our community, and ultimately our world.

We believe that SS. Peter & Paul School is a vital extension of our parish and community. We recognize the importance of our interdependence and mutual committment for the success of Catholic Education in our community.
