  • Lifelong learning is essential for success in a changing society.
  • Parents are the primary educators of their children; therefore, parent communication is important to the success of the child.
  • Parents and teachers are role models for the students.
  • As a Catholic school community, we have a responsibility to serve our parish, our community, our country, and the world.
Philosophy
Saint Raphael School exists to further the mission of Jesus Christ: to love God and one another. ​The religious purpose of Saint Raphael School is to inspire our students to continue our mission. Through the teaching of Catholic doctrines, experiences of worship, and opportunities to serve in the community, our students grow spiritually and morally. God’s love becomes visible through examples of each member of our faith community. Through learning about the mission of Jesus, students develop positive self-awareness, responsibility, and self-expression, which lead them to become well-rounded individuals. Through a combination of spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical programs, each child will have a broadened perspective for the challenges ahead. Along with cooperative efforts of the pastoral staff, the school staff and families, the students are given every opportunity to grow to their full potential.
