School Mission Statement
To
provide a traditional, quality Catholic education that is proud,
progressive, and builds responsibility in the students, staff, and
parents assuring lifelong learning in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
School Philosophy
St.
Matthew School recognizes and values the uniqueness of each of
its students. Programs are designed to develop Christian values,
an appreciation and understanding of the gospel message, and academic
excellence. We believe that students should be actively involved,
challenged to think critically, and be personally responsible for
their work and behavior. We recognize the absolute need for students
to have a positive self-image, pride, and enthusiasm for learning.
St. Matthew School further
recognizes that parents are the primary educators of their children
and that we, as a school, are an extension of the learning that
takes place in the home. Faculty and staff are committed to build
on the efforts of family as well as the parish community.
St. Matthew School strives
to instill in students s sense of Christian purpose that will lead
students to their own prayer, gospel witness, and community service.
