The philosophy of St. Aloysius School is founded on the principle that the whole person is to be educated in an atmosphere of Gospel spirit and truth. As such, faith is integrated throughout the curriculum. Additionally, students are also exposed to religion-specific lessons as a subject matter.

Additionally, we are also dedicated to a religious education through the practicing of virtues. Each month our school highlights a specific virtue for everyone to practice, and students who embody those virtues are recognized at a school-wide assembly. As a Catholic school we emphasize the importance of becoming more Christ-like and the practice of virtues helps us to do this. 

As stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, virtue is acquired through three human actions: education, deliberate actions/decisions, and perseverance. All of these are governed and supported by the grace which comes from God and is available through the Church in the Sacraments. So long as we take time to learn, make the decision to do what is good, and persevere in doing good even in the face of turmoil, then we will grow in virtue.

As we grow in virtue, we become more and more like God, which is the ultimate goal of human life. The growth toward perfection makes us realize the truth of our existence and the purpose for which we were created: to love and serve God as well as to love and serve others who are the children of God!
