SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
St. Malachy School is a Catholic elementary school in the Peoria
Diocese, which is dedicated to the educational mission of the Church - to
proclaim the message, to build community, to enter into prayer and worship, and
to motivate to serve.
We, the faculty of St. Malachy School, believe that the
school is necessary to foster a Christian education dedicated to the threefold
educational mission of the Church:
To teach the message of God
To build a community of faith
To promote service for the kingdom
GOALS

comprehensive education program based on doctrine and experience.
To stress moral development, and the teaching of Catholic
values in all areas of the curriculum.
.
To challenge children to aim for excellence and to become
increasingly responsible for their own learning.
To encourage and enable students to be respectful and
self-disciplined.
To develop critical thinking skills
which encourage each child to reflect carefully and articulate clearly their
own thoughts, opinions and conclusions.
To provide an atmosphere which encourages tolerance, and
which discourages prejudice and disrespect.
To nurture each child's feelings of self-esteem,
self-worth and self-confidence.
To provide opportunities for prayer experiences and
liturgy, shared by students, faculty and parents.
To challenge students to give witness to Gospel values in
their daily lives and to see themselves as responsible for the Church's mission
of building a world based on concepts of justice and peace.
