Mission & Vision

OUR MISSION

The mission of Nativity School is to empower the whole child to realize their potential by providing a quality, 21st century Catholic education regardless of their family’s economic level by developing their character and appreciation of higher education.

OUR VISION

Nativity Catholic School is an integral part of the mission of Nativity Parish and stands as a beacon of hope to the Vermont-Slauson community.  Through facilitation of 21st century learning in a peaceful, academically engaging Catholic environment, educators at Nativity School strive to establish and advance conditions that foster the religious, academic, social-emotional, and physical growth of students.  The Nativity staff encourages students to appreciate the value of education and life-long learning through example, support and action. Students are given critical skills and knowledge to fulfill their potential as responsible, participating members of family, the Church, and society. Through Catholic teachings and practices, students grow in understanding the importance of being faithful to commitments and of service to others in the global community. The Nativity staff affirms the interrelationship of the school, home and Church, recognizing that parents are the primary educators of the children served.

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

Nativity School, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  Nativity School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation.

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

SCHOOL-WIDE LEARNING EXPECTATIONS

Our School-wide Learning Expectations (SLEs) contain the expectations we uphold for students in grades in TK-8 throughout their time here as Nativity Saints.
