Mission Statement

St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School is empowered by Gospel values to develop lifetime learners who are Christ-like in Serving, Caring and Becoming.

Motto

To act kindly, love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)

Philosophy

St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School embraces the key points of our mission: serving, caring, and becoming--with all things pointing to Christ. Our community of faculty and staff, parents, and students seeks to live the Gospel message in spiritual, academic, social, and physical areas. The School, while aiding parents in their responsibilities of educating their children, strives to guide the development of the whole child. Our goal is to help each child achieve his or her spiritual, academic, social, and physical potential in a safe learning environment. We seek to provide an open but guided culture which will enable students to excel as productive, Christ-like citizens.
