St. Helen School operates based on the belief that students learn best when they are actively involved in their education and when they become responsible for their growth. St. Helen School expects its students to work at the highest level of which they are capable. Students, faculty and parents work together to evaluate each child’s mastery of Common Core standards and to remediate any areas in which the child requires support.
St. Helen School incorporates all aspects of human development—intellectual, social, physical, spiritual, and moral—and integrates learning by guiding students to be curious about all that the world has to offer. St. Helen School students build skills in mathematics, reading, writing, and critical thinking, while developing an appreciation for the arts and sciences. Students develop a strong sense of themselves as individuals and as members of the church community.
St. Helen School is a small community, permitting students and faculty to know one another well. Frequent group work in classes enables students to teach and learn from one another. All students work individually, in small groups, and as a whole class. This close community allows teachers to create developmentally appropriate curricula.
St. Helen School is committed to developing and maintaining a peaceful and secure atmosphere, and to the non-violent resolution of problems and conflicts. Social development issues are addressed based on the Gospel message in Matthew 18:15-17. Students are encouraged to express their feelings and look for solutions amongst their peers prior to asking an adult to become involved in solving the conflict, always encouraging positive conflict resolution.
St. Helen School believes it is essential for students to develop a commitment to the larger community. Through the curriculum and St. Helen School community service program, it is our goal that students recognize the importance of their active participation in local and global issues. With a rich educational program as a foundation, students can contribute positively to the world in which they live.
The tradition of the Catholic faith is an integral component of the philosophy and goals of St. Helen School. The school was founded on the legacy of the Sisters of Notre Dame and their values continue to be integrated into the daily life of students at St. Helen School. The school prepares students to respect the sacred dignity of the person as an individual and as a responsible member of a community and also enables students to translate the Good News into action within a challenging and disciplined environment provided by caring and capable teachers.
St. Helen School acknowledges that parents, who have the primary responsibility for the moral and religious development of their children, are partners with the parish and the entire Christian Community in the continuing education process. St. Helen School is committed to provide activities that allow students to experience prayer and liturgy, quality educational opportunities for students of varied academic abilities, financial aid programs to assist families, and opportunities for students to serve others.
