The educational goals for St. Joan of Arc School are based on the nature of the child and the child’s relationship with God, with self, and with others.

With God

To help students develop a personal relationship with Jesus, the model for their lives, both in word and example.

To grow in understanding of what it means to be a baptized member of the Catholic Church.

To bring the school and parish communities together especially through liturgical celebrations of Word and Sacrament.

To awaken a critical sense which distinguishes the true and good from their opposites, and to develop these values into a way of life.

To understand the universe as God’s creation and to nurture a respect for God’s gifts.

With Self

To develop positive attitudes of self-worth, self-discipline, and self-esteem. To cultivate intelligence through scholastic work, curiosity, and creative thinking.

To offer a program of service projects, cultural experiences, sports, and extra-curricular activities to develop the total human person.

To accept and deal with human emotions in a responsible manner.

To learn to care for our body and its health.

With Others

To seek sincerity, tolerance, and goodness in all relationships, especially with family members and fellow students.

To respect the dignity and rights of others.

To promote peace and justice among nations, groups, and individuals.

To instill in students a social consciousness and responsibility toward others.

To foster an atmosphere where students of all ethnic, racial, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds grow and accept each other with an increased awareness of their common human condition and destiny.
