Mission Statement
Lial Catholic School, sponsored by the Sisters of Notre Dame, provides a caring community infused with Gospel values centered on the formation of the whole child. United with parents, Lial is committed to faith formation, academic excellence and the development of necessary life skills allowing each child to use their unique God-given gifts to serve.
Philosophy
The philosophy of Lial Catholic School is expressed in the following statements that guide the school's policies and procedures.
• All individuals are created by God out of infinite love and, therefore, possess immeasurable dignity and worth.
• All individuals differ greatly in their aptitudes and achievements from one area of learning to another and in the ways they learn.
• Individual differences should be considered in every decision that is made within the school community.
Purpose
Lial Catholic School strives to help the child to develop the habits, attitudes, ideals, skills and appreciation essential to his/her Christian formation, directed toward the attainment of his/her final destiny and toward the exercise of responsible citizenship. Working toward this goal, Lial Catholic School recognizes the unique endowment of each child and the role of parents as primary educators. Designed for children three to fourteen years of age, Lial Catholic School provides the prepared environment in which the child’s sense of wonder leads to the joy of discovery and the gradual grasp of truth. Here, intellectual growth and social discipline go hand in hand.
