MISSION STATEMENT

St. Benedict School is a Catholic Elementary School, dedicated to the education and formation of students in Grades Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8. St. Benedict School, committed to quality education, serves the diverse community of Blue Island and surrounding areas. The school is a vital part of the St. Benedict parish family.
As
a community founded in the Catholic faith, St. Benedict School seeks to inspire
its students and encourage them to live according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
St. Benedict School accepts and encourages the faith practices of non-Catholic
families. We accept the individual uniqueness of each student and challenge
students to grow spiritually, cognitively, emotionally, and socially in a
culturally diverse setting. We try to discover strengths and weaknesses so
each child will develop to his or her full potential as a contributing member
of family, church and community.
