About
Mission & Goals
Rooted in the Rule of Saint Benedict.
Our Mission
Saint Benedict is an elementary school presenting the three-fold mission of the Catholic Church:
- To witness the message of Jesus
- To build a community with Jesus Christ as the center
- To serve God’s people through love, support, and prayer
We strive, through the use of the Common Core Standards and the Diocesan curriculum, to teach students the truths and values of the Catholic faith rooted in Benedictine spirituality and the practical applications of learning. The school aims to develop within students a sense of positive self-awareness and mutual respect by providing a friendly, supportive, and secure environment.
Mission Statement
As a Catholic school community, our mission is to cultivate a Christ-centered learning environment where every child is given opportunities to excel and is recognized as a child of God.
