Growing in Holiness Together

MISSION

We are dedicated to providing Catholic Montessori education which fully integrates spiritual formation through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and is faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and the Montessori philosophy.  We desire to walk with parents to best allow the totality of the child’s God-given potential to unfold.




 

VISION

The vision of Blessed Family Montessori School, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is to form an individual who:

  • has harmoniously developed their spiritual, physical, social-emotional, and intellectual potentialities,   

  • exercises a strong sense of responsibility and right use of freedom and can actively engage in communal efforts for the advancement of the Kingdom, and

  • is in an intimate relationship with Jesus, the Good Shepherd, confident in his or her identity as a beloved child of God, and who is equipped to live out his or her God-given mission.

VALUES

INTEGRATION

Blessed Family Montessori School was founded by educators who are dedicated to teaching by calling to every facet of the human person. Such a holistic manner of education allows each child to develop wondrously with God into the fullness of his or her humanity.  We believe that the harmonious integration of the human person in accordance with God enables one to attain his or her highest potential.  This person can then in turn offer his/her highest contribution to the building up of the immediate community and to the advancement of the Kingdom of God. 

Blessed Family Montessori School is committed to building and sustaining a school community beyond the classroom that actively integrates our core values of faith, family, truth, and excellence into its daily decisions.

FAITH

We cherish the gift of our Roman Catholic faith and are committed to imparting the fullness of its teachings. Placed at the very heart of Blessed Family Montessori School is our Christ-centered faith which we call on daily to animate, guide, and move us toward our mission and vision.  

We acknowledge that our success is dependent on remaining steeped in our faith through the study of the “living and active” Word of God, participation in the Sacraments, and most importantly, commitment to an intimate relationship with Christ our Good Shepherd through the habit of prayer.

FAMILY

We honor the family as the Domestic Church and recognize that the parents are the first educators and catechists of their children.  We seek to inspire parents to best support their child’s optimal development.  We are dedicated to providing parent education and support that deepens their understanding of child development, Montessori philosophy, as well as the impartation of the Catholic faith to their children.



veritas

TRUTH

We believe that the human search for truth will only be satisfied in God and that the fullness of God’s Truth is preserved in Sacred Scripture and Tradition.  Submitting our minds and hearts to God’s Truth challenges us and has the power to transform us into being more Christ-like, preparing us for life ever-after. It is from this eternal perspective that we are motivated to share God’s Truth with great love and compassion.

EXCELLENCE

We strive for perfect alignment with God’s will and are committed to holding in mind this vision of excellence as we, together, incrementally gain ground in the pursuit of this ideal. We continue this pursuit in order to give even greater glory to God and His kingdom.
