Immaculate Heart of Mary School Mission Statement

Immaculate Heart of Mary School’s greatest assets are the children and the families we serve.  We promote their spiritual and intellectual growth through the teachings of Jesus Christ.  We empower our children with the tools necessary to become strong Catholics: secure on their faith; secure in their education; and secure in their future.

Statement of Philosophy

Immaculate Heart of Mary School is committed to the definition of education as a life-long process.  As an extension of the home, IHM School welcomes each student as a child of God and seeks to provide diverse opportunities for learning, especially cultivating growth in Catholic Christian values and teachings.  A dedicated staff fosters those qualities needed for respect of self and others.  An appropriately challenging curriculum results in healthy physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual growth for each child.  A safe environment for students, teachers and families is promoted and nurtured with an emphasis on an atmosphere of trust and open communication between the home and the school.
