5th grade teacher/Vice Principal at Our Lady of the Visitacion School - , California, United States
The philosophy of Our Lady of the Visitacion School has a four-fold purpose: to proclaim the Gospel and teachings of Christ, to help build community, to bear witness to God's teachings, and to be of service to the community. The school community seeks to make a difference in our society--child-by-child, family-by-family -- thus cultivating a seedbed of Christian values and service. We have a special commitment to use the power of education by following the footsteps of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton to assist struggling families so they may achieve a better quality of life. The faculty and staff of Our Lady of the Visitacion School work in partnership with parents, who are the primary educators of their children and challenge each student to become a well-rounded individual gifted with life and talents destined to form God's kingdom on earth. Students at Our Lady of the Visitacion are encouraged to develop their innate talents so that they will grow and mature not only physically and intellectually, but also emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
