School Philosophy
We, at St. Philip Catholic Schools, believe in Catholic education, which develops a Catholic Christian attitude for the total person: mind, body, and spirit, through faculty, student and parent cooperative involvement. We believe in providing opportunities for a variety of religious understandings of the Catholic community and an awareness of one’s personal commitment to God, neighbor and self. We believe that St. Philip Catholic School fulfills its role as an extension of the family, the Church and the State, by assisting the adolescent in his/her growth toward full personal maturity. Through the educational process, we foster parent awareness of student progress, teach the basic skills, augment skills of critical and analytical thinking, comprehensive listening, practical applications and the evaluations which are necessary to function in future society as a contributing person. St. Philip offers a quality academic program, but with an added difference. We strive to relate education in the classroom to the values that Christ showed us: love, hope, faith, charity, forgiveness and self-discipline. What the student does in the classroom relates to his/her life as a Christian. The program of academic studies and co-curricular activities functions in a family atmosphere of cooperation, mutual respect, Christian concern, dedication and service among all members of the school community.
We believe...
... Catholic education promotes a Christian way of life.
... in the cooperative involvement of students, parents, and staff.
... learning and self-esteem increase when parents are actively involved in their students’ education.

... in providing an atmosphere conducive to learning.
... in welcoming people of diverse faiths and backgrounds.
