MISSION STATEMENT
St. Margaret Mary School provides a quality education
within a Catholic, Christian atmosphere through a holistic approach that
prepares the students for spiritual growth, social responsibility, and academic
success.
PHILOSOPHY
St. Margaret Mary School's goal is to enable children to
live in today's ever-changing world and prepare them to face the challenges of
society. St. Margaret Mary School provides Catholic education for students,
preschool through eighth grade, within the Chino, California area.
With teachers as facilitators of learning, we provide a
quality education with emphasis on growth in all individual and social
dimensions: social, moral, intellectual, cultural, emotional, and physical.
We believe that through our student-centered
learning environment, students will learn to become responsible for their
actions, treat others with respect and dignity, attain their academic potential,
and accept themselves as children of God.
We acknowledge the parents as primary educators of their children. The faculty
realizes the importance of the school's involvement in the development of the
total student. Therefore, in a shared, cooperative effort, the students,
parents, and staff strive to create the unique faith community of St. Margaret
Mary Catholic School.
It is the purpose of St. Margaret Mary School to encourage one another to accept
the differences we find in our diverse community. We recognize that everyone is
created in the image and likeness of God, and we strive to teach as Jesus did.
We believe that Christ is the reason for our school. He is the unseen, though
ever-present, teacher in our classes, the model for our staff, the inspiration
for our students and their parents.
St. Margaret Mary students will graduate with positive self-esteem, a sense of
community and an applicable understanding of Catholic teachings and values.
Students will carry with them through life knowledge of the importance of
academic excellence, pride in their Catholic faith, as well as a personal and
communal relationship with Jesus Christ.
