MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Madonna del Sasso Parish School is to motivate, instruct and nurture children in the beliefs, practices and values of the Catholic community integrated with the highest standards of academic excellence, physical development and leadership skills to become lifelong learners inspired by Jesus Christ.

PHILOSOPHY
Madonna del Sasso Parish School creates an environment where students can experience a maturing relationship with God, themselves and others.  Together with parents, the primary educators, we prepare students to become involved, responsible and contributing members of the church and society.  Under the inspiration and leadership of Jesus Christ, the master teacher, we create an institution of learning and living where a family of families can grow, share and experience a love for learning and Christian fellowship.

CURRICULUM
Catholic principles of Christianity are taught daily as the basis of our curriculum.  Each student is afforded the opportunity to grow in knowledge of Christ through study of scripture, participation in the liturgy, prayer, and finally an understanding that our study is a “way of life” -- not just an exercise in learning.

Students of all faiths are welcome insofar as they understand and agree that the school functions within the framework of the values of the Catholic faith.  All students are expected to attend liturgical functions and to take religion classes.

The curriculum consists of the following content areas:  Religion;  Math;  Science;  Reading/ Writing/ Language Arts/Literature/Spelling;  Social Studies;  Spanish;  Physical Education; Computer Technology; Music; Art.
