A Philosophy of Total Catholic Education
for

Saint John the Apostle Catholic School

SJA Catholic School recognizes the spiritual, academic, physical, and social emotional diversity of each student and of all humanity. The learning environment is rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church. This philosophy for students of SJA is accomplished through:

·        Social/emotional development - SJA students are expected to respond to
the community through self-discipline, self-confidence, compassion and
commitm
ent.

·        Spiritual qualities - As one in Christ, Saint John the Apostle students
learn how to glorify God and grow spiritually through lo
ving service.

·        Academic attributes - In an environment grounded in Catholicism,
students become life-long learners who are articulate, creative, and
knowl
edgeable problem-solvers, critical thinkers and decision-makers.

·        Physical countenance - Being made in the image and likeness of God, SJA
students
are led to respect the uniqueness of their bodies and the bodies of
others as t
emples of the Holy Spirit.
