Saint Michael School Mission Statement
Saint Michael School is a Catholic Christian community
serving children from early childhood through grade eight from our parish
community and the Greater Merrimack Valley. Saint Michael School offers a
solid academic foundation that will enable the students to succeed in the
future. Promoting gospel values through prayer, religious instruction
and community outreach, we strive to carry on the spirit of faith and love
initiated by the Sisters of Charity of Halifax.
In accordance with the Mission Statement of Saint Michael
School and the Core Knowledge Sequence Curriculum developed by E.D. Hirsch,
the following goals have been established:
 |
To develop in each child an awareness of the needs of the
community so that they may be of service to others |
|
To focus on providing a solid foundation of knowledge and
skill in all the academic areas from Nursery through Grade 8 |
|
To provide opportunities for students to participate in
art and music activities and to develop an appreciation for the arts |
|
To develop in each child a sense of responsibility for
their own actions and to foster respect for others |
|
To teach each child the value of discipline, develop a
work ethic and above all to always act morally |
