Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classrooms. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.
Mission Statement
Our Lady of Lourdes School answers Jesus’ call to love and serve others and is committed to achieving academic excellence, enriched with Catholic values.
Philosophy
Our Lady of Lourdes School is a Catholic School serving students in Pre- Kindergarten through Grade Eight, which recognizes the dignity and individuality of each child.
We believe we offer a quality educational program of instruction, which forms the beliefs, values and traditions of Catholic Christianity.
We believe that our school is an extension of a good Christian home, and that we share with the family in the upbringing of each child. The home is where a good Christian education must first begin. The school is an effective vehicle toward the formation of adults who will benefit our society as a whole.
In our school, we are guided by the Holy Spirit in providing for the education of the whole child – spiritually, physically and intellectually and socially.
Spiritually
Children are taught in a caring and nurturing environment that views every child as a gift from God. The children grow with the understanding of God’s great love for each of us.
Emotionally
Children develop positive self-esteem, self-advocacy, and social skills as well as a love and appreciation for learning.
