Our Mission
Holy Family School is dedicated to the ideals of educating children in an environment that surrounds them with faith-based values and inspires them to live as good stewards of the community. The school strives to educate the whole child spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and emotionally. Every effort is made to cultivate within each child a positive self-image and to heighten their awareness of the dignity and worth of others. Our school guides our students to achieve their highest academic and creative potential, and actively serve and enrich their community.
Our Model
Our model encompasses the whole child and the whole family. Families are invited to join our school community when entering Kindergarten and stay through 8th grade graduation. The same teachers stay with the same cohort of students throughout the elementary years, creating a strong bond within the cohort, minimizing learning loss between grade transitions, and making the teachers intimately aware of each student's strengths and support needs.
Parents also make a commitment to attend school one day per week to work on their own personal educational journey. Parents and teachers have an ease of communication that allows them to holistically support the children with needs within and outside of the classroom. Therefore, the student, family, teacher and community partnership is deep and long-term.
To help Holy Family students acquire the intellectual, social, physical and emotional skills appropriate to their level of maturity and to enable students to appreciate themselves and others as children of God participating in a Catholic faith-based community.
