The Philosophy of HFCS

Mission Statement:

Holy Family Cathedral School is a community of students, parents and educators, dedicated to teaching the redeeming message of God's love. Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we provide spiritual and academic excellence within a Catholic faith experience.

"Jesus, however, called the children to himself and said, 'Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (Luke 18:16).

Philosophy:

Holy Family Cathedral School is dedicated to the education and formation of the whole child - spiritually, intellectually, artistically, psychologically and socially. Our ministry of education supports diverse learning styles and scholastic experiences.

We recognize that the care and education of the child begins with the family and that parents are the primary educators of their children. We support parents in their role by providing a learning and nurturing environment which promotes strong Catholic values.

Our children are the future leaders of society and will assume a role in establishing a more just and peaceful world. Therefore, we strive to develop in each child a positive and well-balanced self-image. We encourage each child to become a lifelong learner and to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and values in order to live cooperatively and responsibly in this world.

Holy Family Cathedral School is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
