Mission, Vision, and Core Values

St. Stanislaus Kostka Academy commits to challenging our students to achieve academic and social excellence, lead by action and example, and to serve and love God through others.

Faith -  Virtue - Valor
Expressway to Excellence

The hallmark of the Catholic school has been providing a quality education in a faith-based environment. 

At Saint Stanislaus Kostka Academy we are committed to preparing children to live lives of excellence in a respectful and supportive environment by living out our mission of providing a rigorous education centered in Christ. 

We believe that...

• God is at the center of our lives; therefore, we provide a Christ-centered environment fostering a love for our Catholic faith, family and the global community. 

• Students must be prepared for a future of rapid change; therefore, we foster the ability to reason, to solve problems, and to think creatively and critically. 

• Learning should be active, meaningful, challenging, and connected to students' lives and the world. 

• Children flourish in an atmosphere of care, support and respect. 

• Social/emotional learning (recognizing and managing emotions, developing care and concern for others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, and handling challenging situations) is as important as academics. 

The academic success and spiritual formation of each student requires a commitment from the entire learning community - students, parents, teachers, administration, and pastor.

Faith, virtue, and valor certainly do justice to the attributes of the young Saint Stanislaus Kostka who in his very short life found the "expressway to excellence."  Having a name like this, boldly overlooking the Kennedy Expressway, may awaken one's desire for faith, virtue, and valor.  As a Catholic priest and pastor, it's what I would want for the pepole entrusted to my care.  As a father or mother I would think it is what they would want for their children.  The word "valor" - so needed today in order to keep the faith and live in virtue.  The three words speak to our leadership as well.  Can there be a true leader without these attributes?  Certainly, there is no Saint without these attributes.
