| Our Spiritual mandate is taken from the teachings of Jesus Christ, using His “WORD” as both inspiration and guide. We praise God by living His message and participating in the gifts of worship that He had provided for us. Recognizing that we are all one family in the eyes of Jesus Christ, we work at treating others, as we want to be treated. |
Our academic program strives to teach the lessons of life that will result in our student’s ability to participate and effectively contribute to society. We stress the importance of communication skills and the appreciation of one’s own gifts and the gifts of others as a means of giving direction to the pursuit of intellectual achievement.

| School policy is initiated through the cooperative input of administrators and faculty. The results of this collaboration are the directives that delineate the roles and responsibilities of the faculty, present the student code of conduct and outline all disciplinary procedures to be enforced. Policies and directives are contained in the Parent and Faculty Handbooks, which are amended as needed. Educational policies are based upon Archdiocesan guidelines and the objectives set forth by the Administration. Curriculum development is a dynamic factor in the life and culture of St. Patrick & Assumption/All Saints School. Curriculum revision is ongoing and based upon deficiencies as identified by the TerraNova Standardized Test. Educational research as contained in current educational literature is also used to facilitate a fluid curriculum based upon changing academic demands and constructs. |
| The administration and teaching staff takes as its prime responsibility the task of organizing a well-coordinated program that will contribute to the complete development of the child in view of his or her origin, nature, and environment. This program includes the recognition of home and community values and strives to modify or enhance them. It also helps the child to gradually identify his or her goals and develop a value system based on peace and justice as defined in the teachings of the Gospel. Christ leads the way! |
