Saints Felicitas and Perpetua School is a parish school, serving a diverse student population in grades kindergarten through eighth.  The school is accredited by the Western Association of School and Colleges and the Western Catholic Education Association.  The school is supported by an active Parent Service Organization and the generous parishioners of Saints Felicitas and Perpetua Catholic Church.

 

Mission Statement:

The mission of Saints Felicitas and Perpetua Catholic School, supported by the Pastor, religious and lay staff, parents and parish community, is designed to foster the holistic development of each child through a religious-based academic curriculum which instills a love of learning, the value of service, and respect for all people.

 

Philosophy:

Saints Felicitas and Perpetua School promotes the education of our students in a nurturing Catholic environment that fosters the growth of the whole child – intellectually, spiritually, psychologically, socially and physically. We promote the teachings of the Catholic Church, inclusive of diverse cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds.

 

We recognize that parents are the primary educators of their children and we value and encourage their participation. We are committed to a true partnership with parents and parish community to promote Christ-centered education with the highest moral and academic standards.

 

In accordance with the teaching of the Catholic faith, we guide the children toward living these teachings in the family, peer relationships, school community, and in the wider environment of parish, neighborhood, and the world. We help children acquire an understanding of God’s love for them, a true spirit of prayer, and a devotion to Our Lady and the Church.

 

Upon graduation, our students will have internalized and expressed our school’s school-wide learning expectations of being morally and spiritually responsible, intellectually curious, an integrated learner, an effective communicator, and a cooperative problem solver.

 Morally and Spiritually Responsible:

 

By practicing and applying Catholic values in their daily lives; fully participating in the sacraments, daily prayer and Catholic traditions; upholding human dignity through words and actions; and serving those in need.

 

Intellectually Curious:

 

By having a desire for learning; a thirst for knowledge; an awareness of the skills needed to acquire this knowledge; and the confidence to apply these abilities in all academic areas.

 

An Integrated Learner:

 

By utilizing social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual skills in all aspects of their lives; using a variety of strategies to solve problems within the academic course of study; and by demonstrating competency and integrating self expression through diverse academic offerings and opportunities.
