Mission & Philosophy

ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST CATHOLIC SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

In union with the parents and the Church, the mission of St. John the Baptist Catholic School is to prepare young people to impact the world for Christ, using Jesus as our model. A dedicated faculty will affirm and prepare them through the development of spiritual well-being, academic excellence, and the concept of service to fully embrace the Catholic way of life.

PHILOSOPHY OF SJB

Catholic education has an increasingly important role in today’s society. As a Catholic school, and part of the ministry of St. John the Baptist Parish, we recognize parents’ God-given responsibility as their children’s primary educators. As educators within the school setting, we support and assist our parents in preparing their children to live by Catholic values. We strive toward excellence in the four fundamental components of Catholic education: message, community, service, and worship. We are responsive to the genuine concerns and needs of parents and recognize the commitment they have made by placing their children in our care. Our concern focuses on every aspect of our students’ development and the development of each child’s full potential. The faith-based academic program embraces cultural diversity while supporting and enhancing our students’ spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth. The faculty and staff of St. John the Baptist Catholic School strive “To Teach as Jesus Taught.”
