Academic Philosophy

St. Ignatius of Antioch School is committed to developing spiritual, personal, and academic excellence while incorporating 21st century skills to encourage lifelong learning in a globally advancing society.

We place a heavy emphasis on developing students that are able to compete in an ever more competitive world. In order to achieve this, Saint Ignatius focuses on developing critical thinking skills through inquiry based learning. We push our students to not only understand and remember, but to analyze, evaluate, and create. 

Saint Ignatius School also focuses strongly on finding enthusiastic and highly qualified educators that can push our students to be the very best that they can be. We challenge our students daily with a rigorous, academic based curriculum that allows them to become creative thinkers. Our educators are evaluated daily and asked to continue to be lifelong learners that can model for our students what it means to be a strong learner. 

Our School’s mantra is to EXCEL in all things. We expect our students to approach each and every day and individual tasks with ENERGY. We invite them to be an X-FACTOR, which challenges them to bring their unique and individual gifts to school with them every day and to share those unique gifts with their classmates and teachers. Our students are taught to center their lives around CHRIST and to remember to keep our Catholic identity and faith at the center and forefront of all that we do and we say. We push our students to remain ENGAGED in their lessons, in their activities, in their relationships, and in their lives, for we believe that engagement is at the heart of true learning. Lastly, we push our students to leave a lasting LEGACY that will enrich our school’s history and leave the school and community in a place that is better than the way that they found it.
