St. Valentine Catholic Elementary School, located in the suburban community of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, is comprised of a community of believers who strive to provide a faith centered curriculum respecting the uniqueness of its members.
Our purpose for existing is to develop in our students the attitudes, understandings, habits, and skills necessary for Christian Catholic living in our American democratic society.
We strive to make the children of our school aware of the call to service in the community, exemplified in the message and values of the Gospel.
Our objectives are to encourage and foster all areas of learning by attempting to educate the total child: spiritually, mentally, morally, aesthetically, and physically.
