Our Philosophy
As a Catholic School, St. Michael's School as three primary aims:
- To teach the Gospel message of Christ and provide the skills and environment essential to meeting each student's needs. In general, Catholic education illuminates and enriches a student's knowledge of God, life and culture.
- To build a community based on Jesus' command to love one another. By living and learning in a faith community children become caring and concerned members of the total human community.
- To serve the human community through prayer, worship and social action.
Our Spirituality
