Our Mission and Philosophy"The proper and immediate end of Christian education is to cooperate with divine grace in forming the true and perfect Christian"
~ Pope Pius XI, Divini Illius Magistri
Mission
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School assists parents with the education and formation of their children in Truth, Goodness, and Beauty through a Christ-centered environment, challenging academics, and hands-on learning so that each child becomes a disciple of Christ and is prepared to respond to God’s call.
Philosophy
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School believes in the potential of children. By providing direction toward God through traditional Catholic teaching, by supplying a strong foundation in academics and in the fine arts, and by engaging parents as partners, we will strive to produce young people who will make contributions in their world to the Church, and who will move forward to live joyous, productive lives living in their faith.
Canon Law
A true education must strive for the integral formation of the human person. This is a formation, which looks toward the person’s final end. At the same time, we are to focus toward the common good of societies, the Church and the world. Young people are to be raised so that they can develop harmoniously their physical, moral, and intellectual talents. This will enable them to acquire a more perfect sense of responsibility and a correct use of this freedom. -
