IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of Immaculate Heart of Mary School to cooperate with parents in providing quality education to its students, regarding their religious, physical, emotional, social and educational development. Together we will work to foster Christian values that will guide students to become responsible citizens and followers of Christ.
Immaculate Heart of Mary School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin. Immaculate Heart of Mary School is an accredited school, part of the system of schools under the direction of the Diocese of Covington and its Department of Education. IHM strives to provide the best possible academic education for your children, but more importantly, it is our goal to continue the work parents have begun by instilling in your children basic Catholic values and attitude.
We believe that parents hold the primary right and serious obligation to educate their children. We realize that parents delegate the sacred trust of educating their children according to Catholic principles to teachers who, by their very profession, willingly assume this role of educator.
It is imperative that you are informed parents so that you and your children will have a better understanding of what is expected during the hours they are under the care of the school.
PHILOSOPHY
At Immaculate Heart of Mary School, each child, because of his/her dignity and worth, should be educated within the Christian community so that his/her potential is fully developed. This education, which encompasses the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth of the child, is the parents' right and responsibility. Immaculate Heart of Mary, as a Catholic School, assumes a share of this responsibility.
Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish recognizes the benefits to parents of children derived from a Catholic approach to education and provides this school for the parish community.
GOALS:
1. To promote the growth of Catholic values, principles, and moral attitudes so that each student may become a responsible citizen in our society.
2. To help each child develop academically according to his/her ability, striving for maximum potential.
3. To obtain parental involvement for the mutual benefit of the child, the parent, and the school.
4. To make learning a pleasant and worthwhile experience which each child will want to continue after his/her formal education is complete.
5. To encourage students to use their God-given gifts and talents to serve others and to continue Christ's work in the world.
6. To seek to motivate students to live as part of a believing community which works to serve the needs of society, to foster love of life, love of family, and love of country, to enable students to embrace the plurality of cultures and to respect and revere this plurality as a wonder of God.
