We are a Catholic school for students in kindergarten through grade eight providing an exemplary holistic education rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Philosophy
 |
The mission of St. John the Baptist School is to participate in the teaching ministry of the Catholic Church by proclaiming the Gospel message of God's universal love for each person. |
|
We believe that each student has the right to grow and develop as a whole person in Christ by having the opportunity to integrate his or her intellectual, intuitive, psychological, physical, and spiritual capabilities. |
|
We believe that the child's intellectual profile has within it the seeds for expansion when exposed to a challenging, stimulating, and enriching curriculum and a prepared learning environment. |
|
We believe that the intuitive nature of the child must be developed through stimulation of the imagination through mental discipline. |
|
We believe that each child's psychological well-being must be nurtured by positive reinforcement of the child's self-worth. By focusing on the positive self-image, the child will be led to develop sound social relationships and ultimately to look beyond him or herself to the needs of others. |
|
We believe that each child's physical growth helps to integrate the wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. Each child must be led to develop a positive and sacred attitude toward his or her body, regarding it as a unique and holy place where the Spirit dwells. |
|
We believe that each child is created in God's image and is uniquely gifted by God. Because the child has been called to a life of holiness, he or she has both the right and responsibility to develop and to maintain a personal relationship with God throught prayer and worship with the faith community of the church. |
