Mission
Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is a faith community rooted in the understanding that each child is created by God, our loving Father. In the light of Jesus’ teachings, each student is challenged to grow spiritually, morally, socially, intellectually, physically and emotionally.
Parents as Primary Educators
We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children. As teachers, we facilitate academic achievement in cooperation with students’ families. With the help of parents we provide a quality, student-centered Catholic education in an environment of peace, security, love, diversity and justice.
Student Learning Expectations
With God’s help, our students will go forth as socially responsible knowledge seekers and committed Christians with personal confidence and respect for themselves and the larger community.
Active Christians
Students learn how to pray using formal and spontaneous prayer; show respect for self, others, God, Church, creation; demonstrate basic knowledge of the foundations of the Catholic faith; use the Bible; participate at Masses and liturgical ceremonies; demonstrate a spirit of service in church, family, school and community; make moral choices; and respond compassionately.
Socially Responsible
Students learn to take responsibility for their actions; become involved in their surrounding world; resolve conflicts peacefully; respect cultural diversity; recognize the importance of good health choices; demonstrate the ability to work cooperatively; and use and respond to nonverbal communication.
Knowledge Seekers
Students are able to research, interpret and apply information; be self-directed; observe, experiment, discover and reach solutions; demonstrate curiosity and enthusiasm for learning; take part in the arts and humanities; plan and work toward goals; and achieve to the best of their abilities.
