OUR LADY OF THE VISITATION'S
MISSION AND BELIEFS STATEMENT
Our Lady of the Visitation School is a diocesan
Roman Catholic School operated by the parish of
Our Lady of the Visitation. Taking as our motto,
"Many gifts, but the same Spirit," we
strive to create a mutually respectful and compassionate
Christian community in which each individual's talents
are recognized and nourished and seen as significant
to the building of the Kingdom.
We are dedicated to providing
a well-rounded quality education in a value-centered
environment. Through academics, prayer and worship
the staff and families of Our Lady of the Visitation
work to impart to our children the Catholic traditions
and faith and to live the Gospel message of Jesus
Christ by serving the church and the broader community.
We believe that administrators,
teachers, parents, students and the parish community
share the responsibility for advancing the school's
mission.
We believe that each student is
a valued individual with unique physical, social,
emotional and intellectual needs.
We believe that education awakens
for our students a sense of a global world wherein
they can experience a God that is active and working
in their lives.
We believe that all children can
learn and that optimum learning takes place when
students are actively engaged and are in a safe
and comfortable environment.
We believe that children learn
in different ways, and that a variety of instructional
approaches should be used to support their different
learning styles.
We believe that education empowers
children to be aware of their abilities, goodness,
dignity, talents and spirituality, and to use
these gifts to serve God.
We believe that special emphasis
must be placed on developing a dynamic faith that
expresses itself in love of God and service to
others and culminates in the building of a truly
Catholic community.
