The Philosophy of Holy Name
of Mary School to top
“Holy Name of Mary is a Catholic Community with a warm family spirit, united
through faith, dedicated to responding with love and service to the specific
needs of the community.
Inspired by the love of Christ, we will share our time and talents to
communicate with, support, and serve each other.”
(Holy Name of Mary Parish Mission Statement)
Following the tradition established by the Sisters of Saint Louis and the
Congregation of the Sacred Hearts, Holy Name of Mary is a diverse Catholic
community of students, parents, faculty, and staff dedicated to sharing
educational excellence in Grades Pre-K through 8 in San Dimas, La Verne, and surrounding areas.
Holy Name of Mary School provides a secure, stimulating environment that
strives to meet the academic, emotional and spiritual needs of each child. Fostering the love of learning in an
atmosphere of mutual respect, we offer a challenging curriculum with innovative
programs that create opportunities for all students to reach their fullest
potential
In partnership with parents, Holy Name of Mary School provides a foundation
for higher education, nurturing Catholic values and preparing students to
confidently and responsibly manage their transition to young adulthood.
(Holy Name of Mary
School Mission
Statement)
The faculty of Holy Name of Mary School believes that the above mission
statements capture the essence of our role as Catholic educators. Holy Name of Mary School is an integral
extension of this parish community’s spirit.
We endeavor to extend this spirit to the children of our school through
living and teaching the love of Christ.
It is through this love that we recognize that Christ created each of us
to be a unique individual. Therefore,
our desire is that all students value Christ’s presence within themselves. Through Christian service, worship, and a
commitment to building community, they will serve God and one another.
Recognizing the importance of holistic development, we attempt to integrate
academic learning and personal growth.
In so doing, it is our goal that our students will comprehend that
education is an evolving, lifetime process and will make a personal commitment
to mature into self-actualized, productive members of tomorrow’s society.
Acknowledging the role of parents as the primary educators of their
children, the faculty and staff work supportively to supplement and reinforce
the teachings of Catholic education.
Instructional Program to top
Since this is a Catholic
School, the greatest
emphasis is to be placed on providing a religious education for all
students. Students are taught the basis
of their faith through daily religious instruction. There are daily prayers and masses, as well
as First Friday Mass and special celebrations.
Students plan and participate in liturgies and are prepared for the
sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Celebration of the Eucharist is an essential
part of the religious education of our children. Parents are always invited and encouraged to
attend whenever possible.
Our challenge is to provide the climate and means through which both
students and staff can come closer to God and their fellow men and women.
