We, the faculty of Precious Blood School, base our educational philosophy on the threefold purpose of Catholic education.
Proclamation of Jesus’ message
Community evidenced in love for one another
Living and active service to the entire human community modeled on the life of Jesus Christ and His relationship to His Father
(“To Teach as Jesus Did.”)
Realizing the threefold purpose of Catholic education, which strives to integrate religion with living and learning, we endeavor to create an environment that fosters the total development of the child, spiritually, intellectually, socially, morally, physically, psychologically, and aesthetically.
Recognizing the family as the heart of this Catholic education, Precious Blood School values the role and contribution that parents make as the primary educators of their, and acts as co-educators with parents.
Spiritual Goals
With the commitment to Catholic values, we strive to create an environment in which students can grow and deepen their personal relationship with God and discover their role in the Catholic community.
We endeavor to do this by:
Providing and integrating daily instruction of religion and the integration of religious and moral values in other areas of the curriculum
Having a variety of formal & informal prayer experiences each day
Organizing a variety of school-wide liturgical experiences
Hiring dedicated teachers whose examples of modeling Catholic values helps our students grow in their faith
