MISSION & PHILOSOPHY
Mission
The Nativity School is a ministry of the Church of the Nativity, where the love of Jesus Christ and Catholic faith guide the formation of students' minds, bodies, and souls to their full potential through spiritual development, academic growth, and a commitment to serving others.
Philosophy
We believe…
Parents are the primary educators of their children and the family’s commitment to partner with the school is essential.
The True, the Good, and the Beautiful is reflected through the Trinity.
The development of a well-formed mind requires the application of Catholic tradition in the context of high academic expectations with effective research based pedagogical approaches.
The experience and appreciation of beauty in music, visual, digital, and performing arts is an essential component in the formation of the heart and mind.
Athletics is integral to the student’s character building through the development of health, self-discipline, teamwork, humility, character and confidence.
All members of the school community are valued and served by recognizing their unique characteristics and respecting their individual dignity.
Our committed community is an essential element in accomplishing our mission. It is sustained by the generosity and charity of all its members and by the larger family of our parish.
The purpose of discipline is the development of integrity of character, emotional maturity, and the ability to make good choices.
Success is fully realized when students, while empowered to nurture their social and emotional well being, conscientiously employ their gifts and talents to attain personal potential in accordance with the Divine will.
In providing a secure learning environment for all community members.
Catholic Identity
We belong to the oldest establishment on the face of the earth. Our rich Catholic heritage gives us the truth and beauty to convey the most meaningful and comprehensive lessons to future generations. The Catholic identity at The Nativity School is strong and focused on the teachings of the Catholic church. Catholicism is not simply another church. It is transcendent human experience perfected and realized by the example of one perfect man who welcomes us into the most real experience of ourselves. We strive to share that joy, that hope, and that love with your children so that they might grow into the young men and women that God has called them to be.
