Mission

The mission of Saint Bernard Catholic Academy is in our name. We are Catholic, rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ in word and action.

We are committed to academic excellence and educate our students spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Using kindness, compassion, service, and a rigorous curriculum designed to challenge and inspire, we prepare our students to be life-long learners.

Philosophy

Saint Bernard Catholic Academy seeks to provide a quality faith-based education for our children. We educate the whole child through programs encompassing the spiritual, intellectual, social, psychological, and physical development of our students.

Through our religious education program, we strive to develop a well-rounded Catholic personality, which will be reflected by respect toward self and others as exemplified by Jesus in the Gospels.

In cooperation with families, the staff works to assist the child in developing a system of values by which to judge the use of knowledge and skills. The rules and disciplines that are incorporated are necessary for the preservation of an atmosphere best suited to learning. In this way, the students learn to be responsible and accountable.
