School Learning Expectations

The purpose of Our Lady of Fatima School is to foster an environment in which all children can develop their own personal relationship with God. The school provides a high-quality Catholic education in which the children are exposed to the sacraments and are encouraged to practice being stewards of their faith.

The standard at Our Lady of Fatima School is to focus on the formation of the whole child as well as emphasizing academic mastery. This has created a collaborative school culture that is always seeking the best and most effective ways to educate our children for the 21st century while infusing a strong and vital Catholic identity. Our collaborative culture is supported by parents who serve as the primary educators of their children. Student life is driven by faith, stewardship, and excellence. Our Lady of Fatima School is committed to living out the Gospel values and actively participate in the Catholic faith.
