Mission & Philosophy

 

Saints Felicitas and Perpetua Catholic School, an educational ministry of Saints Felicitas and Perpetua Parish, serves students Transitional Kindergarten through Grade 8 from the Parish and surrounding area. By promoting academic excellence and fostering the holistic development of each child, the School strives to instill a love of learning, the value of service, and respect for all people.

 

 

Saints Felicitas and Perpetua School (SSFP) 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. The School is committed to providing a quality education that challenges students to develop and share their gifts in a supportive and stimulating environment.

 

SSFP promotes the teachings of the Catholic Church, inclusive of diverse cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. 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 the foundation for lifelong religious practices including roles of leadership in the Church.

 

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 the parish community to promote Christ-centered education with the highest moral and academic standards.
