We believe that St. Anthony Grade School is a Catholic faith community dedicated to integrating the message of Jesus Christ’s love, with learning and living. We believe in the development of the whole child, spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and culturally. We believe in the respect for each individual’s personal dignity. We believe that parents are primary educators of their children and that the active involvement of parents, parish, community, staff, students and faculty is crucial to the success, growth and development of our school.

Role of the Parent

We believe that parents have definite responsibilities in education. They need to have a basic confidence in the School and they need to impart this confidence to the students. The parents may do this by cooperating to the fullest with the School, by encouraging the student to give his/her best efforts to his/her daily responsibilities, and by participating in school activities.

Role of the Teacher

We believe that the role of the teacher in the educational process is to provide opportunities for the individual to achieve at the maximum level of his/her capacity, to create a learning situation in which individual motivation for learning is the stimulus for achievement, and to promote through teaching and example the principles of the Christian way of life.

Role of the Student

We believe that the student must have responsibilities in the educational program of his/her community. Most important of these is attitude. The student is obliged to come with an open mind, equipped with all necessary materials, ready to fulfill the responsibilities in the learning process. The basic attitude should be that the school is an institution of opportunity, staffed with trained personnel to help the student become a contributing members of a global society.
