Minimum tuition ($900 1st-4th, $1150 5th-8th, $1400 9th-12th) covers only one-fourth of our cost; therefore, families are expected to help with fundraisers throughout the year.
Educational Philosophy: Education at IHM School is rmly
rooted in Catholicity. We believe what was said so strongly by Ven.
Emmanuel d`Alzon: "Education is the formation of Jesus Christ in
souls." The School`s tasks, therefore, are to inform our students`
intellects with the truth concerning nature and grace, to guide
their wills into the moral Good of the natural and supernatural
orders, and to direct their emotions toward the Beauty of God and
His creation. The True, the Good, and the Beautiful - the pursuit
of this "trinity" leads us to the Holy Trinity. Part of the mission
of IHM School is to inculcate in our students such things as
reverence, virtue, honor, sanctity, self-mastery, love of truth,
zeal, and true friendship, that is, a friendship rooted in the life
of grace. We do this by classroom instruction, example,
encouragement, and close cooperation with the primary educators of
our students: their own parents.
IHM School strives to inculcate gentlemanly chivalry and
ladylike manners in our boys and girls respectively, and courtesy
in all. Courtesy, chivalry, and respect for gender roles are
safeguards to Catholic morality and virtue, and strong foundations
for the integral Catholic culture IHM School strives to build. The
various disciplines taught in the classroom are rooted in the
patrimony of Western classical and Christian culture. The dogmatic
teachings of the Catholic Church are the certain foundations of our
supernatural knowledge, while perennial natural philosophy gives us
the foundations of natural science.
Our ideals of moral beauty are found in the Holy Family and the
saints. The Church`s traditional liturgy provides us with the
foundations of aesthetic beauty, for from it came the various arts
and crafts that adorned Christian culture. It is the conviction of
IHM School`s founders that a "liberal education" must take
precedence over a "servile education," and that utilitarianism in
education is a dangerous and profoundly undermining thing.
Brother Francis, M.I.C.M., Catholic educator par excellence,
explains this well: "Liberal education is contrasted with
specialized or professional education, the latter being that which
prepares a man for a craft or profession whereby he may render a
service to society and thus earn a living. Without
diminishing the nobility of service, from the Catholic point of
view there is implied in the attribute "liberal" another great
value: namely, the education of man as a free person; as a value in
himself; and for his own perfection and happness. A person being
educated liberally is truly treated as a prince or princess. In
contrast to liberal education we may talk of servile education,
which we may also call ministerial education. Both are necessary,
noble and can make us virtuous. For this reason Christians do not
despise service. Man is meant in this life to serve, and especially
to serve his fellow men. ...The kind of good that is aimed at in
non-liberal education is the useful good, also called utility.
Utility is truly a good, but it is not the highest good. This last
statement cannot be emphasized too much, because somehow one of the
biggest fallacies that exists today is the fallacy of
utilitarianism. This fallacy can be simply dened: It is the
exaltation of utility over all else. -When a man is educathed
liberally, he is being prepared to be a value in himself. He is
being prepared for the joys of knowing for the sake of knowledge,
for contemplation, for being perfect. This perfection is not moral
perfection but ontological perfection to be developed according to
all the potentialities in him."
The school`s motto is "Semper Deo Gratias et Mariae." The
school`s patron saints are Saint Philomena and Saint John
Bosco.
