Our Mission
Rooted in the Gospel and strengthened by the sacraments, the mission of Morning Star School is to provide a unique, inspiring education empowering students with learning differences to achieve their full potential.
As a result of our Mission, the community of Morning Star School believes:
- Each student is valued as a unique child of God in his or her social, emotional, physical, behavioral, spiritual, and academic needs.
- We must foster acceptance of self and others as we help students develop and share their unique gifts.
- Each student learns in a variety of ways and should be provided with accommodations to materials, methods, instruction, and assessment according to their individual needs.
- Christian formation is at the heart of a Catholic education.
- A safe and nurturing learning environment is essential for student growth and learning.
- A respectful partnership among parents, teachers, students, and the school community is essential for success.
- Through a sense of individual responsibility and global awareness, students must be empowered to become active and effective participants in today’s world.
