• MISSION STATEMENT

    St. Charles School is a Catholic Faith community. We provide and nurture a supportive and inclusive Christ-centered environment where students grow in faith, serve others, and pursue academic excellence.

    PHILOSOPHY

    St. Charles School, an integral part of St. Charles Parish, has strived to support the spiritual, educational, physical, and emotional needs of children for more than seventy years and continues to foster growth in each child. In communion with parents, teachers, and students, where parents are recognized as the primary educators, the school works to foster faith formation, promote academic achievement, and develop successful individuals who give back to their community. The school leverages programming to promote a community of faith and challenge students to reach their full potential. St. Charles School is committed to following the model of Jesus in cultivating spiritual people, thinkers, accomplished learners, and responsible citizens and is devoted to the belief that all students can learn and be successful.
