Philosophy
The goal of education
is to prepare young people for the future. Catholic education
takes this goal a step further: it prepares children to
meet the challenges of life as Christians. St. Louis Catholic
School educates children in a Christian environment. The
process is "God-Centered".
Parents, pastor, administrators,
teachers, staff, and students are all involved in an ongoing
process of building the Body of Christ. The school ministers
to the whole child; this means there is a deep commitment
to educate the whole person, complementing the home in helping
each child to develop to his or her full potential spiritually,
intellectually, socially, and physically. The focus of activity
is in harmony with the Catholic faith. Faith grows in the
child and the school fosters this growth.
Mission of Catholic
Schools in the State of Texas
"The
effective Catholic school must call its students to the
conviction that people are more important than material
gain, that justice is more important than success, that
love is more important than esteem, and that collaboration
unites while competition divides. The truly successful Catholic
school student is not necessarily one who is successful
in every endeavor, but one who accepts Christian responsibility
for fulfillment of personal potential and shares these gifts
with others."
