A COMMUNITY OF SAINTS AND SCHOLARS
OUR MISSION
United by the love of Christ, St. Nicholas Catholic School, in partnership with parents and parish, teaches the fullness of the Catholic faith, fosters academic excellence, and nurtures a community of disciples.
SAINTS & SCHOLARS
As a Catholic community, our eyes are always on our desired eternal destination: heaven. Our school very importantly teaches the faith, prays together, grows in virtue, and follows Jesus’ example of discipleship. As a school, we also form scholars, students who have the knowledge and skills to thrive in high school and beyond.
FAMILY
When asked what parents like most about our school outside of academics, the most common response is that it is like a family. This family nurtures children lovingly, shares common values, and presents a consistent understanding of what life is all about: sharing personal gifts in the service of others.
