| As a
Catholic educational institution Saint Dominic School is to
minister to the spiritual, intellectual, psychological,
social, cultural, and physical needs of our children.
This is accomplished by providing as atmosphere
permeated by a spirit of belonging, which is based on
Christian fellowship and growth, and shared spiritual
experiences.
Young children are eager and
curious learner, endowed by nature with a spontaneous interest
in exploring, inquiring, and experimenting.
Saint Dominic School emphasizes respect and
responsibility in these experiences, always aiming toward
academic excellence. In
addition, opportunity for athletic, cultural and social
activities is provided so that students may receive the
preparation necessary to meet an ever-changing world.
We send forth young adults who are striving to witness
Christ through prayer, example, and service to others.
