Overview
St. Clement of Rome School provides deliberate and systematic instruction, in both formal and informal educational settings, which develop the skills, knowledge and values needed for life.
We are a vibrant school community dedicated to excellence in the areas of academics, communication and faith formation.
We strive to meet the individual needs of our students as we nurture their God-given talents and gifts.
As a follower of Jesus, every student is called to lead, practice Gospel values, especially love of God, neighbor, and self, to accept difficulties with courage, and to give good example.
Students are encouraged to help those in need and to respond to the wider global community.
In doing so, the child fosters personal worth, the growth of relationships and the establishment of the climate necessary for effective learning.
The parish community shares responsibility for providing Christian witness, resources, and leadership, which support the educational mission.
The educational process is not simply a human activity; it is a genuine Christian journey toward perfection.
Our goal is to guide our students on their journey.
We can help them to be happy, functioning members of their family and their school community by setting a Christian example and setting reasonable limits.
St. Gerard Majella School is a place where the promise and potential of every child begins to be realized.
The basis of our philosophy is our commitment to educating the whole child while recognizing each child's individuality.
In a warm and nurturing environment, faith is strengthened, academic skills are developed, and friendships are formed.
Working in partnership with the entire parish community, we prepare students to meet future faith and academic challenges and responsibilities.
We believe that respect for self and others is the key to positive self-esteem.
We believe that the development of the whole child is best nurtured when there is positive interaction among the home, school, and community.
As a Catholic Educational Community, S.G.M. is dedicated to recognizing the unique God given gifts of each individual.
All members of this community strive to create a warm, accepting environment in which each person feels comfortable to grow as an individual and in his relationship with Christ.
Because our Christian philosophy recognizes the whole person in its educational efforts, our community aims to promote the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, physical, moral, and cultural development of each individual.
