Elementary

A commitment to moral education is at the forefront of all that we do at SS. Philip & James Catholic School. Not only is morality a part of the educational process, but our Students begin to understand how to think of others and the world around them. A focus on giving back and giving to each other rather than ourselves is central to their daily activities.

Focusing on more than just academics, we teach our children the values that are at the very foundation of a successful life.

Characteristics such as:

• Hard Work 
• Discipline

• Kindness 
• Generosity
• Responsibility 
• Honesty

We meet the New York State Common Core standards and our school infuses Religion into the curriculum.

Spiritual guidance is an essential part of students’ daily activities. Being a Catholic School, religion and faith are interwoven throughout each grade and curriculum. This shared spiritual focus creates a special sense of community among the children.

The emphasis on integrating faith and values, and modeling that behavior for students reinforces moral values and creates an abiding respect for others. 

Families who share the Catholic faith get these values reinforced daily as their children receive religious instruction, attend weekly mass, altar service, and prepare for the sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy ​Eucharist, and Confirmation.
