School Philosophy

    St. Mary of Gostyn School has been established to assist parents, who are the primary educators of their children, to form a unique Catholic, Christian community within the parish. This community provides witness to Jesus Christ, proclaims the Gospel values by living the Christian message, and helps to build a faith that will lead to a commitment to all people.

    Realizing that we serve a diverse community and that each child is unique, it is imperative that we discover the abilities, talents, and needs of each child and do our best to create, in partnership with the parents, an environment that responds to these needs. Religious education, including various opportunities for worship, is a priority in our school. We believe that other opportunities for growth in self esteem, happiness, and the curriculum subjects are essential. These opportunities include academic excellence, building personal relationships, and service to others as exemplified in the message of Jesus.
