| What makes St. Cyprian School better? |
|
We pride ourselves on teaching excellence with our curriculum and our personal attention to each
student. Our teachers are passionate about the subjects they teach and care
for their students. The curriculum consists of our core competency courses, but
we also have enrichment courses that teach the students the social, analytical,
and technology skills that are essential in a technological and diverse world.
The enrichment courses not only add educational value, but also teach the students
discipline skills and add fun to their daily student life.

| Mission |
|
St. Cyprian Catholic School provides a spiritually
based education to its students in a multicultural environment founded
in an atmosphere of respect that is family oriented and supports the
needs of today's family. We strive to meet the needs of local and
commuter families and are committed to the individual growth of each
student - spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and morally.
|
| School Philosophy |
|
We at St. Cyprian School exist to form persons
who will proclaim the Good News of the Gospel throughout their lives,
as responsible citizens and committed Christians. In partnership with
parents, the primary educators, we are dedicated to providing our
students with a viable, complete, and comprehensive Catholic education.
This partnership is based on trust and genuine concern for the well
being of the family.
|
|
|
We understand our call to the ministry of education
and we seek to teach as Jesus taught. Our education challenges our
students to understand their roles as contributors to each community
in which they belong. We teach this message not only as a lesson
to be learned, but also as a lesson to be lived. We believe Catholic
education is a process of growth that engages the student in every
dimension of his/her life-spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social,
cultural, and physical. It is our intent, that through the students'
personal growth, they may better serve the members of God's family.

St. Cyprian School adheres to the academic standards

We affirm our task to instill religious
beliefs and values, afford academic lessons and experiences, and
develop interpersonal skills and relationships in forming responsible,
compassionate Christian citizens
