MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of St. Charles Garnier School is to nurture in our students the love of learning and a love of Christ. Through our own witness to Christ's teachings, we will challenge each student to strive for personal excellence and explore life's unlimited possibilities, in the context of our Catholic values. Students are the focus of our Catholic enterprise. We challenge them to excellence in everything they do spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Together we grow in respect for self, others, authority and property. Faculty members are the agents of our Enterprise. We commission them to be teacher, mentor and friend. Together we model Catholic values by setting the examples of fairness, respect and a positive attitude.
