Welcome to St. Patrick Catholic Academy.
St. Patrick’s is a special place, and it all begins with our mission:
Our mission is to lead by example as Christ did when teaching, learning and serving.
Since our founding in 1863, St. Patrick’s has encouraged students to achieve their personal best by providing a supportive environment that cultivates intellectual and spiritual growth. Our students are critical thinkers and thoughtful critics; they respect one another and are compassionate. Christ is the unseen, but ever present teacher, in St. Patrick’s classrooms and is a source of inspiration. We pray as a community each morning, study religion daily and attend church services regularly.
In our Early Childhood Program, our youngest children explore, discover, imagine and learn in nurturing spaces under the watchful eyes of caring, experienced teachers. Kindergarten through Grade 8 classes offer learning environments that build interdisciplinary skills in research, language arts, science, technology and math. Visual arts, vocal performing arts, technology, modern languages and physical education programs are offered in all grades. Extracurricular activities include the Junior St. Vincent DePaul Society and community service projects, theater arts, choir, CYO sports and academic competitions, among other things.
I hope our website helps you discover what its like to be part of the St. Patrick’s community. We invite you to join us at an upcoming admissions open house to see the St. Patrick’s difference for yourself.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Curatolo, Principal
