Mission and Philosophy
St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School believes in the dignity and worth of each individual and recognizes the child’s right to a Christian education. We are committed to preparing children for life by developing the whole person: spirit, mind, and body. We do this by integrating an excellent academic program with our Catholic faith, based on the Gospel message.

Philosophy
St. Charles Borromeo School strives to be a community where students, parents, and staff work together and support one another. We believe that family involvement and cooperation are essential to our school programs, reinforcing our Catholic values and nurturing our faith tradition. The teachers guide the learning activities and the parents support the educational process. Our school strives to place great emphasis on religious education by focusing on:
- Message: The Word of God as it is handed on to us through Sacred Tradition and Scripture.
- Worship: The grateful expression of the just relationship that should exist with our loving God in Whose Image each of us has been both created and called to holiness.
- Community: The community of God binds us together in one mission of faith, hope, and love.
- Service: Each of us has been endowed with different gifts all given for service to the Church and to the world.
