Saint Adalbert Catholic School offers academic challenges for children in pursuit of knowledge, a spiritual identity based on scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church, and a social responsibility that enables the school family to respond to the needs of our times. The mission to educate children has its foundation, life, and hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As a Catholic School, we believe in the sanctity of the family, and reverence for every human life. With these two principles guiding us, we seek to instill in our school children the values of truth, justice, politeness, kindness and respect for life. These values will create an atmosphere that is conducive to developing a child’s mind and preparing the child for sharing and working in a school community.

1.We believe that a safe and secure school atmosphere is necessary for learning and teaching.

2.We believe that it is necessary to teach, model, and support character development, as Jesus taught.

3.We believe in the importance of encouraging students to become lifelong learners.

4.We believe in the importance of building self-confidence in all students so they
can succeed.

5.We believe that it is necessary for each child to recognize the importance and
value of community service.

6.We believe that involvement and participation in liturgical and intellectual
activities, nurtures positive attitudes and values in all students.

7.We believe in the necessity to support each parent/guardian in their role as the
primary educator of their child.
