Philosophy

Mission

The faculty and staff of St. Vincent de Paul Parish School:

  • Believe that families are the primary educators of their children; we work in partnership with parents and guardians to foster their students’ learning.
  • Create an active faith life in each student by promoting Catholic values, teachings, practices, and prayer at school and at home.  
  • Teach students to be good stewards of our world in imitation of our patron, St. Vincent de Paul, by serving within faith, local, national, and international communities.    
  • Promote high academic achievement by challenging our students.
  • Respect the diverse people and beliefs of our world.  

We believe in educating the whole person. Intellectual, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of the student are cultivated to help students realize their full potential. Teachers must not only instruct students, but also inspire them to reflect upon the Gospel message, most importantly that God loves us, and that we are called to love others and ourselves. Furthermore, in our commitment to provide a strong academic program, we instruct and assess based on sound principles of education. Our faculty is skilled at meeting the unique instructional needs of all students.

We value the contributions of alumnae, their families, parishioners, and others affiliated with St. Vincent de Paul Parish School. Those who are currently part of this community, or who have been a part of our past, are members always.
