The school strives to inspire within each student a love of learning and an appreciation of the arts.
The program seeks to prepare children for their place in a technological society.
It attempts to help each youngster cultivate a positive self-concept, be aware of his or her great worth as a child of God, and be capable of making a significant contribution to society.
