Mission
Mission
St. Matthew Catholic School, believing every student is a child of God, challenges each to pursue academic excellence and to live the Gospel through worship and service to others.
Philosophy
St. Matthew School provides its students with the opportunity to learn, practice, and grow in their faith through a traditional approach to learning in a Catholic environment. Our school enables its students to emerge as successful leaders through the development of their personal, social, intellectual, physical and creative capabilities. St. Matthew school gives each student the opportunity to live the word of Christ through service to others. In cooperation with the Christian home, St. Matthew school gives the students a sound foundation for a future vocation and assists them in discovering their own worth as Christian persons.
Community
St. Matthew School encourages interaction and interdependence within the community by planning social occasions, academic events, and liturgical celebrations.
Worship
The students and teachers take an active part in planning and participating in liturgies, learning to respond more freely to God, and growing closer in communal worship. The community is welcome to participate.
The faculty prays together weekly during the school year to strengthen their faith lives and create a unified spirit.
Students grow in awareness of the Catholic Christian commitment and are able to respond more totally to God’s call through the individual and communal reception of the sacraments.
Special sacramental preparation programs are given for First Communion and First Reconciliation under the direction of the Child Formation Director.
Service
St. Matthew students are expected to participate in activities which promote selflessness, responsibility, and awareness of community needs. Service is provided both during school hours and through the home. The students respond to parish, community, and missionary appeals by giving prayerfully and material support.
