We, the faculty of Precious Blood School, base our educational philosophy on the threefold purpose of Catholic education.

​

• Proclamation of Jesus’ message

• Community evidenced in love for one another

• Living and active service to the entire human community modeled on the life of Jesus Christ and His relationship to His Father
  (“To Teach as Jesus Did.”)

​

Realizing the threefold purpose of Catholic education, which strives to integrate religion with living and learning, we endeavor to create an environment that fosters the total development of the child, spiritually, intellectually, socially, morally, physically, psychologically, and aesthetically.

​

Recognizing the family as the heart of this Catholic education, Precious Blood School values the role and contribution that parents make as the primary educators of their, and acts as co-educators with parents.
