CORPUS CHRISTI PHILOSPHY

WE BELIEVE that the distinctive purpose of our school is to create a Catholic Christian educational community enlightened and enlivened by FAITH shared among our staff, our students, and our families.

WE UNDERSTAND that each child created by God is both alike and different from each other, and we accept that each child’s uniqueness influences his or her learning capabilities.

WE STRIVE to meet the academic needs, to satisfy the interests, and to develop the abilities of each child to the fullest extent of his or her being.

WE EXPECT to challenge our students in their academic and social lives, while at the same time, promising to offer the support necessary to help them succeed.
