St. John Vianney School gives students a firm foundation of faith within the framework of our Catholic tradition. We believe that the faith community of our school exists as a vital part of the parish and that it is an extension of the Church in its mission to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our school community gives witness to Catholic values in everyday life. We assist parents, the primary educators, in guiding their children to become responsible members of our community, our Church and our world.
In the spirit of Jesus Christ, our teachers create a loving atmosphere that facilitates learning. The focus of our Catholic education is the total development of the child: spiritual, moral, academic, physical and cultural.Our goal is that our students will establish a personal relationship with the living Jesus, discover their gifts, share their talents, appreciate who they are,and develop who they are called to be.
