GOALS
-
To
develop within the school a religious education program based on
theology, scripture and liturgical experience that will help us
guide each child in the growth and development of a Christian
way of life.
-
To
facilitate the intellectual, physical, emotional and social
development of each child according to individual potentialities
and the need for a positive self image.
-
To
guide each child to emerge as a self-disciplined, self-reliant,
socially conscious witness of Jesus.
-
To
provide appropriate aspects of divergent instructional
strategies such as flexible grouping, departmentalized classes
and other opportunities for creativity, inquiry and discovery in
learning.
-
To
promote an awareness and appreciation of the important role each
individual plays as a member of the global community.
PHILOSOPHY OF ST. MICHAEL ACADEMY
We
believe that each child, created by God, is both alike and unique
from every other human being. This uniqueness affects each child's
acceptance and responsibility toward the school community, and it
especially influences each one's learning styles.
In the
light of similarities and differences among students, we strive to
meet the academic needs, to satisfy the interests, and to develop
the abilities of each child.
Further
and foremost, our school teaches what it means to be a Catholic, to
model one's life on Jesus Christ with the duties and
responsibilities involved in living out His message, and with the
joy and peace that flows from such fidelity.
We
believe that the distinctive purpose of St. Michael Academy is to
create a Christian Educational Community where human culture and
knowledge, enlightened and enlivened by faith, is shared among
teachers, students, families and others who are in our global
community
