Our Mission
CENTERED IN CHRIST & HIS CATHOLIC CHURCHChrist and his Catholic Church are the foundation of our faith and mission at St. Jerome Academy.
Built on this firm footing, we instill in our students a profound sense of awe for God’s creation, a love for all that is true, good, and beautiful, and disdain for all that is evil.BRINGING CHILDREN TO THE LIGHT OF CHRISTClassical learning reveals to our students the fruits of two thousand years of Catholic history, culture, and art so that they see themselves and the world around them in the light of Christ.
We mold their character to help them choose an integrated life to love God with all their heart, strength, and soul. And their neighbors as themselves.FORGING FAMILY PARTNERSHIPSWe forge a partnership with families to nurture our students' mastery of skills and build a community pursuing an authentic union with Christ.
