Our philosophy of education flows from the Christian belief that each child is created in God’s image and redeemed in Christ and has a transitory destiny on earth and an eternal destiny with God in heaven. Hence, the Catholic school proposes to compliment the home, church, and state in giving dignity, direction and motivation to all phases of the students’ lives, and to prepare them
spiritually,
intellectually,
psychologically,
socially,
physically, and
morally to take their places in American contemporary society as mature Christians.
We value experiences in learning.
In practical application of this philosophy, our private school seeks to provide the children with those
experiences and opportunities which are designed to develop in them such knowledge, appreciation, skills, interests and habits requisite to the realization of their full potential. A St. Luke Catholic School
education will thus prepare students to be intelligent, practical Catholics, good citizens, and astute members of society, the church, and the home.
We value Servant Leadership as modeled by Christ.
Students are taught that knowledge is not to be considered solely as a means of material prosperity and success, but a
call to serve and be responsible for others. The integration of
religious values into one’s lifestyle is brought about not only by specialized curricula, but also by opportunities for community giving throughout the year and by the presence of private school teachers who employ an integrated approach to learning and who embody Christian living.
We value the teachings of the Catholic faith.
The unique contribution of Catholic education to the community-at-large is its precise understanding of the human person as a God-created being. The values of the
Catholic faith nourish and strengthen the entire public community. We do not choose to dilute or hide our identity as a religious, value-oriented, private school because we believe this emphasis on value is precisely what our society needs. It is our unique service to all aspects of the civic community.
