Mission and Philosophy

 As a pastoral instrument of the Church,
St. Laurence Catholic School educates
and develops the whole Christian person
in body, mind, and spirit through the trinity of
parent, child, and educator.

At St. Laurence Catholic School, our educational philosophy is founded on the pillars of strong academics, the development of social skills, fostering a passion for community service and nurturing spiritual growth through Christian values and teachings. SLCS is wholeheartedly committed to the collaboration of parents, children, and educators, working in unity to achieve these shared goals.

Within our challenging academic environment, we emphasize the development of analytical skills, enabling our students to become lifelong learners. Through this journey, our students cultivate self-discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-reliance, all within a supportive and encouraging environment that recognizes and respects individual learning differences.

We dedicate ourselves to instilling the Catholic faith into the daily lives of our students, coupled with weekly participation in worship, ensuring that Christian values become an integral part of each child's life. We inspire our children to live as Jesus taught us, emphasizing their identity as beloved children of God.

Community lies at the heart of Christianity, and we ensure that our students understand their role as active Christian community members through daily experiences and interactions. We encourage them to use their unique gifts and talents to selflessly serve others. Our teachers create stimulating classroom environments and receive ongoing training in the latest instructional methods to effectively meet the diverse needs of our students.

We firmly believe that our school's mission should be a shared endeavor between the school and parents. Together, we nurture the spiritual, intellectual, social, and creative gifts within our students, allowing them to realize their fullest potential and become responsible Christian citizens.

As we embark on this journey, we find inspiration in the words of Proverbs 3:5-6:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on our own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.”
