BELIEF STATEMENTS

  • All students will come to know and practice Catholic Christian values through prayer, liturgy, sacraments, service and instruction.
  • All students possess dignity and a potential for achievement.
  • All students deserve to be challenged through a variety of learning experiences.
  • Learning is a lifelong interdisciplinary process leading to future success.

SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

St. Wenceslaus School is a Catholic elementary school committed to the four purposes of the educational ministry of the Catholic Church:
  1. To proclaim the message of faith and morals;
  2. To foster community;
  3. To encourage worship and prayer;
  4. To motivate to serve others.
The primary purpose of St. Wenceslaus School is to assist parents in the Catholic education of their children. The school builds upon Christian ideals and attitudes established at home, and strives to cooperate with parents in the development of true Christians in a faith sharing community. We approach the problems and challenges of life with belief and trust in Christ, knowing that prayer is essential to grow in love of the Lord and one another.

St. Wenceslaus School is committed to academic excellence for all students, keeping in mind the differences and needs of each individual student. We believe that each child is a person of infinite dignity and self-worth. We seek to assist the child in developing his/her highest potential by providing a variety of learning experiences in a positive, affirming environment.

In the words of the Bishops' Pastoral, TO TEACH AS JESUS DID, "The Catholic School (St. Wenceslaus School) strives to relate all human culture eventually to the news of salvation, so that the life of faith will illuminate the knowledge which students gradually gain of the world, of life and of mankind." All those involved in St. Wenceslaus Catholic School -- parents, priests, teachers, administrators--earnestly desire to make it a community of faith which is living, conscious, and active.
