                                                          MISSION STATEMENT

All Saints Catholic School educates the whole child by fostering spiritual development, academic excellence, responsibility to self and service to others.

All Saints continually strives for excellence in education by assisting our children to develop academically, emotionally and physically to acquire the skills and motivation necessary for continued success throughout each child’s life.

Rooted in our Catholic faith and following the teachings of Jesus Christ, All Saints instills Christian values and a strong moral conscience in our students, preparing

them to successfully participate as virtuous and productive members of our global community.

                                                     STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

The elementary Catholic Schools of Broome County serve our local communities by educating students in early childhood programs through grade 6. We offer a quality program of instruction that encourages and guides students to become life-long learners and committed members of both our society and of our Catholic Christian Community.

Our academic program is based on standards established by the New York Board of Regents and by the Education Department of the Diocese of Syracuse. We are committed to academic excellence and to nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning in all our students. We are mindful of the different learning styles of children, and know that children learn at different rates and in different ways. We adhere to the belief that childhood is a journey, not a race.

Our faculty is committed to the spiritual development of each child and consistently infuses the curriculum with Gospel values. We provide the students with liturgical celebrations, Catholic theology, and the opportunities for service. Our faculty, staff, administration and families collaborate to provide and sustain an environment where children can learn about, practice, and openly live their faith.

We aim to educate our students academically, socially, and emotionally. We do this in an environment that reminds them that they are their brothers’ keepers, that instills in them core values and theology, and that provides them with a framework that will lead them to fulfillment here and for eternity.
