Educational Philosophy

Philosophy
Sacred Heart School strives to provide an appropriate environment for students to grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. A strong curriculum employing a variety of learning approaches prepares the student for his/her role in the world. The educational process is further enhanced by the cooperative efforts of students, teachers, administrators, parents, school board members, the parish community, and the Diocese of Richmond. Spiritual training strives to develop the individual student's personal faith experience.

Mission Statement
As a Catholic school, Sacred Heart School's mission is to establish a strong foundation for lifelong learning. By emphasizing God's word and celebrating His presence through prayer, liturgy, and service to others, we will provide an educational environment in which the basic tenets of Christ are visibly present. Recognizing the unique needs of each student, the faculty and staff endeavor to nurture, challenge, and guide all students toward their maximum academic, spiritual, physical, social, and emotional potential.
