Philosophy of Education

Nativity School is committed to academic excellence. We believe that children have a unique set of gifts and talents which they bring to their classroom environment.

Parents and teachers work together to provide our students with an academically challenging learning experience. We encourage our students to work together and support one another in the learning process.

We do our best to create a balanced, faith-centered, learning environment with a curriculum which encourages our students to become independent learners. By setting high expectations for all of our students while providing the necessary academic support to those in need, we are setting each child up for success.
