Divine Mercy School (Closed 2006)

We, the dedicated families, staff, and parish members of Divine Mercy School, join together as a prayer-centered faith community rooted in the Gospel message.
Inspired by the teachings of Jesus, and challenged by the ever-growing needs of our society, we share with all members of the community a responsibility for educating the total child.
Within a nurturing environment, active learners strive towards spiritual growth and academic excellence.
We respect the diversity and uniqueness of each individual and work cooperatively to build a sense of truthfulness and trust.
Through meaningful interaction, we use our gifts and talents to serve the needs of others.
By employing innovative strategies and techniques, we prepare our students to meet the challenges of the future.
We share the responsibility of global stewardship and resolve to enrich the quality of life for all people.
Divine Mercy School seeks to provide a Christian community in which Christian values are developed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, parents, teachers, all other school personnel, and parish members.
We believe that each child will be enabled to reach full actualization of his/her potential through cooperation between parents and the school, each having the same concern for the child.
