Academics

The St. Philomena School mission statement is used as the basis to support the high achievement of all students, and the people and groups within the organizational structure work collaboratively toward this end. The faculty and staff, the administration, the School Commission, and the priest work in harmony to create an environment of positive learning in which the morals and values of the Catholic Church are intertwined with a solid and challenging academic curriculum.

The teaching faculty and support staff are dedicated to supporting high achievement by implementing various teaching strategies, differentiated learning structures, best teaching practices, and summative and formative assessments. Further, they are committed to having a positive home/school partnership that is built on effective communication and mutual trust and respect. The school’s faculty and staff are professionals who keep current with up-to-date staff development in academics, religion, and annual Safe Environment refresher courses, and yearly First Aid/CPR training.
