Catholic Identity

Know and celebrate our Catholic faith

Love God and our neighbor

Serve as disciples of Jesus Christ

St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School educates the whole child, with compassion and care, responding to the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social, and physical needs of each child, while honoring diverse learning styles and needs. We are an accredited, private school, serving students in early childhood, elementary, and middle school levels.
 
KNOW: Our Catholic values and Gospel message guide our work. We follow a developmentally appropriate curriculum which includes basic skills and creative problem solving. We inspire students to become lifelong learners, striving to reach their full potential as individuals.

LOVE: With Christ as our servant model, we seek to instill a loving heart in our children. We see God in all things and teach our students to respond with compassion and service.

SERVE: Our children are taught respect and concern for others and are called to enrich the lives of others through service outreach. We encourage our students to develop an understanding of the needs of the local and global communities. Inspired by our patron saint and working as an extension of the St. Vincent de Paul parish, our mission is to teach our students to KNOW and celebrate our Catholic faith, LOVE God and our neighbor, and SERVE as disciples of Jesus Christ.

The entire student body attends weekly Mass. Each week, a class is in charge of planning and leading Mass. All are invited to celebrate with us! 

Father Dennis Zehren and Father Michael Selenski have a daily presence in our school.  Students may see them at lunch, out at recess, at drop off or pick up, in the halls or in the classrooms. 

Daily Prayer: Our students pray at the beginning of the day, before lunch, after recess, and at the end of the day.  link to prayers
