Mission Statement
St. Aloysius Catholic School is an integral part of a Jesuit parish community. Our mission, in partnership with parents, is to develop and harmonize the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical capacities of each child. Our ultimate goal is to graduate students who will be leaders in action, modeled on Christ.
Philosophy Statement
As a ministry of St. Aloysius Parish, the school welcomes a diverse group of students, each individually valued. We believe that… - Parents, as primary educators of their children in the ways of the faith, work in partnership with St. Aloysius staff and community.
- The St. Aloysius School community creates and upholds a safe and respectful learning environment.
- We create a positive learning environment for each child which stresses academic excellence and inspires each child to reach their fullest potential through a child-centered curriculum that includes developmentally appropriate methodology, values human diversity, teaches responsibility and leadership, and educates for social justice and global awareness. The school community supports the children to develop spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, and physically to their own greatest potential.
- Our school provides an understanding of Catholic beliefs and an opportunity for practicing the faith; and encourages, in Jesuit tradition, commitment to doing justice in generous service to the world.
Faith Formation
Students at St. Aloysius have the unique opportunity to be a part of both the diocesan and Jesuit Catholic communities. St. Aloysius Church, although a diocesan parish, is staffed by Jesuit priests. Students participate in all-school Masses, grade level Masses and prayer services as well as classroom prayer, lunch prayer, and all-school Monday Morning Prayer. They study and observe the liturgical year along with other Catholic prayer traditions such as lighting of Advent wreaths, Jesse Tree prayer, Stations of the Cross, and Living Rosary. We celebrate all holydays with Mass if we are in school. Students of St. Aloysius know God as a loving father, and they grow in awareness of their own calling to be followers of Christ.
Curriculum
St Aloysius Catholic School follows the diocesan cycle of curriculum revision and study.
Each year, the diocesan school office organizes a committee of educators from around the diocese, including representation form the elementary schools and Gonzaga Prep, to review and revise one curricular area. The committee considers local and national standards related to the curricular area, as well as the mission of our schools.
St. Aloysius faculty then studies its implementation of the curricular objectives, studying what is taught, how it is taught, and how assessment is used in relation to the curriculum.
Many of the curricula can be found on the diocesan web site at http://www.dioceseofspokane.org/newschool/curriculum.htm
