Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

Philosophy

St. Patrick Catholic School is a small, Catholic, co-educational, elementary and junior high school, which serves a growing suburban, beach-side community. We at St. Patrick, realize the importance of a positive self-concept, a love and respect for other persons, and an ability to make and be accountable for one’s own decisions. By building a Christ-centered community where students learn to integrate Christian truths and values with everyday living, students will not only hear the word of the Gospels, but live the experience and, thus, more profoundly integrate their Christian values. We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children, and the school, an extension of family’s faith community, compliments the efforts in the formation of religious ideals and values.
