St. Nicholas Catholic School plays a role in helping families educate and prepare their children for success.
The challenges of living in today's society are great and we must give our children the values and skills needed to face them.
To do this, we, form a team to work together.
We support each other in this awesome task. May God bless and guide us in carrying out our responsibilities as educators of our children.
As Christian educators, we are committed to the development of the whole child.
We provide opportunities for spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional, artistic, and physical growth.
Since the reason for our existence as a Catholic School is the Christian growth of the children, we strive daily to give them a Christ-centered education.
We believe that students who are beginning their formal education are in need of a learning environment that is both nurturing and developmental.
This environment works in cooperation with the family to prepare students with the fundamental skills and behaviors needed to be successful as they transition to middle school.
The elementary school utilizes a homeroom approach to develop a learning community that challenges all students intellectually and spiritually, while meeting the student's physical, emotional, social, moral and academic needs.
