Our Mission Statement
Our Lady of Perpetual Help School is committed to providing an affordable, quality education in a Catholic, Christian atmosphere within the framework of the teaching of Jesus and His Church.
Philosophy
We, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, in partnership with the Roman Catholic Church, our parish, parents, educators, and students, are committed to providing a quality and challenging education deeply rooted in church tradition to students in preschool through eighth grade.
We strive to make this educational experience accessible through need-based scholarships.
As educators, we are dedicated to teaching, acknowledging, and realizing the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth of the whole child. We strive to meet individual abilities, differences, and learning styles in a student-centered learning environment in order to reach each child’s full learning potential.
We recognize parents as the first to communicate the Faith to their children and to educate them. We work in partnership to develop in each child a sense of self-esteem in an atmosphere of mutual respect and concern. Our priorities are faith formation, excellence in academics, respect for people, a celebration of diversity, and an environment that fosters self-discipline and a sense of social responsibility.
We believe that the school community is both an agent of appropriate change and a preserver of basic tradition. We consider the school community an integral part of the Catholic Church of the eastern Coachella Valley whose people we serve, and a vital force for preparing future civic and church leaders.
Our continuous goal is to encourage our students to exemplify Christian morals and values in day to day living. We strive to enable them to recognize their interdependence, accept their global responsibilities, and be generous stewards of their talents, abilities, and possessions. We believe that through these efforts students will learn to treat others with respect and dignity, and to accept themselves as children of God.
