MISSION STATEMENT
St. Luke Catholic School is to provide a Christian environment where children can grow spiritually, academically, physically and emotionally under the guidance of a nurturing community.
PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
The task of education- since it is a dynamic, lifelong process- defies simple analysis. At root, learning involves a free response to natural curiosity. However, to produce meaninful results, a person must develop qualities of patience, discipline and responsibility. True education awakens the student to the potential of the human mind, body and spirit, promoting a critical awareness by which to think, judge and act.
A Catholic relates these general educational goals to the teachings of Jesus. Catholic education thus has a unique purpose and function, since it makes spiritually the cornerstone of the educational process. Students, faculty and community must share a clear missionary vision, a willingness to go the extra mile- to make sacrifices and shoulder extra responsibility. Teachers are called not merely to instruct, but to witness Christ's love- in the classroom, at church, on the playing field, in the streets. Accepting the leadership responsibilities of shaping young minds takes enormous dedication and sensitivity. However, the rewards of channeling youthful energy into consecutive outlets make any inconveniences seem insignificant. Helping a student to learn, to grow and to mature is a privilege.
A liberal Catholic education, then, aims to place learning into a moral Christian framework so that knowledge may be used wisely and beneficially. A Catholic student is taught to balance creativity with discipline, individuality with a spirit of cooperation and competition with the sense of fail play. The ideal student is committed to using his or her talents to serve Christ throughout life.
