Curriculum: Religious Education

Mission Statement

The mission of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School is to educate children in a Christ-centered environment where each child can achieve his/her fullest potential, become a lifelong learner, value service to God and the community, and work cooperatively and independently while serving others.

Philosophy

Within a Catholic faith community, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School emphasizes each child as a unique reflection of God’s goodness.  Our excellent academic curriculum encourages the development of each individual’s God-given gifts.  We provide the students a variety of extra-curricular activities, which enriches the learning environment and teaches them responsibility. As a Catholic school we strive to develop a sense of self-worth and independence in students while encouraging service to others.  We nurture the spiritual, moral, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth of all students.  This educational environment provides a strong foundation for the future.
