Mission & Philosophy
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.
