We believe that a philosophy of Catholic Education begins with faith.  God, in creating us, gifted us with life, became one of us in Jesus, and in the Person of the spirit awaits our response to this unconditional love.  Jesus remains within the human community witnessing and sharing the Good News in every age and with all people.  We return God's Love by a sincere response to conscience and by membership in the Church.  It is from this perspective that the education ministry of the Catholic community flows.

We believe that Catholic education begins with life in the heart of the family.  Parents, the primary educators, seed and nourish values deeply human, deeply spiritual.  Affirmed, treasured, and supported by the loving witness of Christian faith communities, the child continues a lifelong response to God's love through involvement in the academic, cultural, social, and civic concerns of daily life.

The teachers and parents of SS. Cyril & Methodius School are pledged to working together to mold youth in the likeness of Christ; that is, to educate the whole person to meet challenges of everyday living in a society and to teach the mandate of Jesus, "Love one another as I have loved you."

 To this end, we at SS. Cyril & Methodius School endeavor to:

  - Provide meaningful faith instruction and experience.
  - Meet each student's academic needs through well planned instruction with attention to individual instruction.
  - Develop the creative potential of each child through arts, music, and other cultural experiences.
  - Enkindle in students a sense of peace and justice in their relationships with tolerance for those who are different.
  - Offer support to parents in the formation of their children and in the development of stable family life.
