Philosophy Statement
Catholic schools must be faith centers:
- Teaching the message
- Building community
- Extending itself in service
The members of the faculty of Divine Providence School realize they share in the teaching mission of the Church and strive to meet these challenges.
The educational program of Divine Providence School is directed toward the growth of the total person.
In accordance with this ideal, the faculty gives prime importance to the dignity and worth of the individual student. Members of the staff assist the students in building a positive self-concept and developing their potential. The desired outcome includes the spiritual development of the students in accord with the school’s dedication to the Providence of God, focusing on the Father’s love and care for one another.
In carrying out this ministry, our teachers strive to develop excellence in all curriculum areas, to instill strong values, to seek the discovery of truth, and to prepare the students to face the future with hope.
This ministry will then lead the students to see beyond themselves to the larger world community, with its need for transformation through justice, sharing, and love.
The philosophy of Divine Providence School focuses on the formation of the child as the foremost responsibility of the parents with the school, the Church, and the community as secondary agents. The need for developing the Christian person is dependent on mutual trust, cooperation, respect and a partnership with home, school, and parish.
Divine Providence School embraces this philosophy as the foundation for our existence, and a catalyst for a Christ-centered world.
