The ideal candidate should create an environment that fosters creativity and stimulates children's imagination, be capable of managing a classroom, and love that which is good, true, and beautiful. If you are a committed Catholic passionate about helping students grow closer to God while learning more about His creation, we invite you to apply today! Philosophy of Education of St. Mary's Catholic School: We believe that each child is loved by God, and his or her ultimate purpose is communion with the Blessed Trinity. Therefore, we must help our students love God and neighbor wholeheartedly, think, judge, and act with the right reason, and use their education to embrace Catholic teachings better and follow Christ's example. To accomplish this aim, the school strives to create a Christian atmosphere of care and concern in which all children may grow toward their full potential spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. This is accomplished through encounters with what is good, true, and beautiful. The very nature of the child requires a coordinated education, which is the product of a cooperative effort by home, church, and school. Through this harmonious partnership, the aim of Catholic education is achieved. We believe that the "effective Catholic School must call its pupils to the conviction that people are more important than material gain, justice is more important than success, love is more important than esteem, and that collaboration unites while competition divides. The truly successful Catholic School student is not necessarily successful in every endeavor, but one who accepts Christian responsibility for fulfilling personal potential and shares these gifts with others."
