Immaculate Heart of Mary Education Values
The Spiritual Development of each child takes place through the use of a sequentially planned
Religious students program. Service to others is an essential element of this value.
Intellectual Development of each child is fostered with emphasis on age appropriate education skills.
These skills are developed through a variety of educational methods in preparation for the higher-level
thinking and decision-making skills of life.
Social Development of each child evolves as the child learns to respect self and others, and to accept
the responsibilities as a contributing member of his/her family, school, Church and larger societies.
Physical Development of each child is pursued through teaching acceptance and reverence of the human
Body as a gift from God and working towards a right relationship with all God’s creation.
