Statement of Philosophy

St.Agatha School is committed to Excellence in Education. Our school exists for the purpose of educating our students spiritually, socially and academically. St.Agatha School attempts o fulfill these goals by:1) teaching the message revealed by God; 2) showing the students effective ways of using their Christian faith to grow personally and outwardly in their community; 3) using Christian values to foster social development and community service; 4) challenging each student to strive for his/her own level of academic excellence. An outstanding and unique characteristic of Catholic Schools is the integration of Christian values into daily life.

We at St.Agatha School respond to the Pursuit of Excellence in Education with the following beliefs:

Our Beliefs

1. The school commuity is a ministry of the parish helping the students ultimately to achieve eternal happiness.

2. Each student is a valued individual created in God's likeness with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.

3. Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instuctional approaches to support their learning.

4. Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process and when they have appropriate opportunities for success.

5. Students need not only demonstrate their understanding of essential knowledge and skills, but also need to be actively producing quality work as well as solving problems.

6. Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission to help each student to become confident, self motivated, faith forming, life long learners.
