Spiritual Goals
As a Catholic academic community, we educate for Gospel values, build community, provide opportunities for worship and educate for service.
We prepare our students for success in high school, the university, the workplace, and beyond by teaching the essential skills of problem solving and effective communication. Problem solving skills help individuals adapt to challenging situations. We provide a variety of opportunities for students to think logically, creatively, and critically. To help students build effective communication skills, we help them develop their oral and written language abilities.
We strive to provide a positive and constructive environment where students experience personal growth in areas of emotional and social development. We help our students reach their potential to become servant leaders in our school community and in society. We educate for Gospel values through teaching the doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church. We are a school community of faith, which embraces students and families from different cultural backgrounds. We build community by creating opportunities for students and parents to use their diverse talents.
We provide daily opportunities for worship as a school community and in individual classrooms. Moreover, we celebrate the weekly mass, Catholic feast days, and church seasons as a community of faith.
Finally, we educate for service. We collaborate with families to display Christian behavior and inspire students to be servant leaders as Jesus taught. To help students initiate positive change and follow in the footsteps of Jesus, we offer developmentally-appropriate community service opportunities for them.

Academic Goals
We are facilitators of learning who seek ways to motivate students to achieve their potential and become lifelong learners. As such, we are committed to improving teaching strategies through professional development opportunities. To help our diverse student population strive for academic excellence, we employ research-based programs and utilize differentiated instruction techniques. We also integrate technology into the curriculum to help students develop the skills necessary to meet the challenges of the modern world.
Our instruction is based on Archdiocesan and California state standards. Because our teaching is student-centered, we periodically analyze student data to drive instruction. We use student assessment results to help our students achieve the standards.

Social/Emotional Goals
To help address the needs of the whole student and to encourage students to become lifelong learners outside the class we offer co-curricular programs to support their emotional, social, and physical development.
We provide occasions for acknowledgement of student achievement and personal growth. We also recognize school community members (i.e. parents, families, faculty, and staff) and their contributions to the school community throughout the year.
We work closely with parents, the primary educators, to create a system of support for our students. For example, we provide programs and scholarships to meet the needs of working families. We also regularly communicate with our parents and families through a variety of means. Because of the importance of parents within the school community, they are encouraged to participate through service hour opportunities. Our collaboration with parents is essential for best preparing our students for high school, the university, and beyond.
