Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School

School Mission Statement

Our Lady of Lourdes Parish School partners with parents to provide a quality Catholic education that focuses on the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and social growth of its students. This education is based on the Eucharist, prayer, stewardship, and Catholic traditions as reflected in the gospel teachings of Jesus.

School Vision Statement

The goal of the contemporary Catholic School must be education, worship, and the building and living of faith community.

We believe that our commitment to Christian education calls us to instill in our students a love of God, knowledge of His works, and a desire to live according to Christian ideals and principles.

We believe that education, while providing for individual differences, will equip each student with the basic cognitive skills requisite to a productive and personally satisfying life in our society.

We believe that faculty and parents, working together in mutual respect and reverence, provide an important witness for our students as they grow and develop.

We believe that education should enhance the social development of each student by teaching a sense of responsibility and service to community and encouraging a love for democratic ideals, Christian values, and a spirit of freedom which respects the rights of others while recognizing the value of self-discipline and individual initiative.
