SCCS: Our Mission

Formed by the parishes of St. Charles, St. Mary, and St. Michael, St. Croix Catholic School integrates the Catholic faith with high academic standards, thus developing the whole child in preparation for a successful and fruitful Christian life.

Educating the Whole Child . . . Mind, Body and Spirit

Our Philosophy of Education

At St. Croix Catholic School, the teaching of the Catholic faith is an essential foundation for the students' moral and spiritual development. With Jesus Christ as their role model, the students learn and develop respect, self-discipline, compassion, and integrity, which naturally lead to academic success. The school respects the rights and responsibilities of parents as the primary educators of their children. Cultural and ethnic diversity is appreciated and valued. To achieve effective learning and develop God-given talents, teachers work with students' various learning styles. Through each graduate of our faith-based school, we offer the world the light and hope of Christ.

Statement of Catholicity

Central to the education at St. Croix Catholic School is its Catholic identity. This identity directs that education is not limited to the proper refinement of the intellect, but also it must enable the character of the entire person through moral formation and intimate participation in a Catholic Community.

The formal instruction of students in their faith is a key component of their education and is part of the daily schedule.
St. Croix Catholic School staff includes religious sisters from the Dominican and St. Joseph orders. All three parish priests are visible and accessible at the school and involved in classroom teaching.
Faculty and staff receive in-service training in Catholic doctrine, attend retreats and participate in on-going continuing education and faith formation. The result of this is the passing on of the rich tradition of the Catholic faith.
Students are encouraged in moral formation through the Discipline With Purpose program, a faith-filled discipline program that attempts to gently open hearts to good behavior and encourages the treatment of each person as an image of God.
Students are encouraged to develop their own personal prayer lives and participate in social service projects, reaching out to those in need.
