About Us
St. Robert Catholic School is dedicated to providing value-based education to students from transitional kindergarten to eighth grade.
Philosophy & Mission
St. Robert Catholic School is an educational ministry promoting a Christ-centered environment that fosters academic excellence and personal integrity. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing the best educational training based on the love of God by integrating a living faith in the Catholic tradition with an education that stresses knowledge, courage, humanity, justice, and citizenship.
In partnership with the St. Robert Parish and the students of our school and their parents, we strive to create a setting that fosters learning among and respect for all people. We believe that every young person has the potential for positive development and the invaluable capacity to contribute to a civil society.
At St. Robert School, we believe that a Christian education is intended to make one’s “faith become living, conscious, and active, through the light of instruction.” We further believe that the “Catholic School is the unique setting within which this ideal can be realized in the lives of Catholic children and young people” (To Teach as Jesus Did, No. 102, National Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1973).
