Immaculate Conception School believes that we hold the responsibility of passing on to students the teachings of Christ as contained in the gospels and Church tradition. We acknowledge that parents are the primary educators and caregivers of their children and that we are called by parents to assist in this task of educating and caring for children. Therefore, we dedicate ourselves to the development of the total person, challenging each student to grow in his/her faith, and to develop his/her greatest potential - spiritually, academically, socially, physically and emotionally. We expect all to respect and appreciate the unique dignity of each person who is endowed with his/her particular abilities and limitations.

We hold every member of our school community accountable:

• To proclaiming and living the message of Jesus Christ and developing a relationship with Him through prayer, Mass and other Catholic worship.

• To provide opportunities which challenge each student to respond to Jesus’ call to love God and serve neighbor - community and world.

• To help every student come to appreciate and respect the unique dignity of each person, understood in terms of justice, truth and freedom.

• To guide each student in developing a well-formed conscience and the ability to make sound judgments.

• To create with the cooperation of each and every student a climate conducive to teaching and learning.

• To direct each student in acquiring a spirit of freedom which recognizes self-discipline and personal responsibility.

• To encourage each student to reason independently, use problem solving techniques and effective communication skills.

• To teach through different learning styles and on each student’s level, knowledge and basic skills that will prepare the student for further formal and informal study.

• To nurture in each student: a desire to develop his/her greatest potential, a basic knowledge of social skills and a responsibility in preserving our world’s resources for future generations.

• To assist parents in their primary role as educator of their children.

• To build a Christ-Centered community by caring for each member from the youngest to the oldest.
