St. Dominic School exists to provide a Christ-centered academic environment designed to promote the total development of the child by serving the mission of the Roman Catholic Church through the educational process. This is accomplished by joining in community as St. Dominic Parish to educate in the formation of faith and family, to provide a quality academic foundation, to unite in a nurturing and loving Catholic community through worship, through academic formation, through the promotion of peace and justice, through adaptation to change and diversity, through service, and through recognition of the value and dignity of each individual.
The vision of St. Dominic School is to teach as Jesus taught. St. Dominic School strives for the development of the whole child through participation in the sacramental life of the Catholic Church. Highly trained and compassionate teachers provide superior academic preparation through a rigorous curriculum, while promoting the ongoing formation and spiritual growth of the next generation of Catholic leaders to live the Gospel and to meet their full potential in preparation for a life of service in their community.
