Mission and Philosophy

Students at St. Rita's School are a part of a multicultural inner city Catholic community, where both Catholic and non-Catholic students are taught in the Catholic tradition that stresses values. Each child is educated and developed as a whole person while being recognized for his or her uniqueness. The mission of St. Rita's School is to provide a Christian environment that is student-oriented.

The administration, faculty, clergy, and staff are partners with the parents, who are the primary educators of their children. St. Rita's School provides students with the opportunity to reach their highest potential. We are dedicated to inspiring in our students, as children of God, a greater respect for themselves and others, as well as fostering a sense of community responsibility.

Students at St. Rita's are provided with a Catholic environment where they grow spiritually, intellectually, socially, psychologically and physically, helping them lead a more fulfilling life.

The students at St. Rita's School will advance in wisdom, maturity, faith, and the basic skills as life-long learners, which will enable them to live in the world of today, and prepare them for the world of tomorrow.

A Catholic Education is an advantage for life!
