Mission St. Viator Elementary School is a Catholic school deeply committed to the development of the mind, body, and soul of each unique student. Under the sponsorship of St. Viator Parish, our school mission is to instill, for life, a love of learning, a respect for all people, and a commitment to Catholic social peace and justice. Our partnership with parents, parish and community enables us to provide our culturally diverse student body with a quality education. St. Viator Elementary School strives for academic excellence by developing the individual potential of each student through our dedicated faculty and staff, extensive curriculum, extracurricular activities, and service. Philosophy St. Viator School is a Catholic educational community, which is an integral part of St. Viator Parish. The faculty and staff along with the members of the parish community guide the students in developing their own sense of Catholic identity, Christian faith, community participation and service. We acknowledge the vital role of parents as the primary educators of their children. We endeavor to work with parents to develop the religious, moral, intellectual, creative and physical potential of each child. We strive to promote academic excellence for our students through a variety of methods. All children come to school with varying levels of development and from diverse cultural backgrounds. These differences are addressed through our curriculum, which is designed to challenge and stimulate all learners in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe that, as teachers, we are also lifelong learners. We are committed to updating our skills and knowledge, to develop students who model charity, peace and justice while functioning as responsible members of society. These are the words of our school philosophy and it is our mission. It is what we believe about education. It is the motivational force that helps us to make decisions about curriculum, programs, and activities for your children.
