Mission Statement

St. John Vianney Catholic School, a ministry of St. John Vianney parish, is a diverse community that challenges students to reach their full potential through a living faith in God.  Within an innovative environment based on mutual respect and academic excellence, we inspire and empower our students by expanding their minds, fostering social responsibility, instilling Catholic values, and nourishing the soul.

Philosophy

St. John Vianney School, inspired by the pastoral, "To Teach as Jesus Did," has as its purpose the formation of its students into creative, Christ-centered persons.  We strive to provide a Christian environment where the faith of our students can become living, conscious and active.  Our school affords the fullest and best opportunity to realize the threefold purposes of Christian education; that is, to teach doctrine, to build Christian community and to provide service to others.  Our school places a high priority on the formation of Catholic leaders who are prepared to be active, contributing citizens in a global society.

While recognizing the parents as the primary educators of their children, and in cooperation with them, we, the educators, strive to empower each child to become a fully-integrated successful human being.  This goal is accomplished by providing an education that ensures the harmonious development of each student's spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical growth.
