Mission Statement:

Immaculate Conception School – A Catholic school devoted to building a strong foundation in faith and academic excellence.

Philosophy:

The primary mission of Immaculate Conception School is to recognize each child as a unique creation of God. Through the hard work of faculty and staff, we are committed to advancing students’ spiritual, academic, and physical growth through a sound curriculum, parental cooperation, and the support of the community.

We recognize that parents are the primary educators of their children, and we pledge our partnership with them. We will proclaim the doctrines of our Catholic faith and living traditions, not only as intellectual lessons, but as basic moral values for the foundations of a Christian way of life. We will teach so as to provide an atmosphere of trust and love, so that personal relationships and friendships can grow. We will pursue our teaching with an energetic commitment to Christian peace and justice reflected with professionalism as we develop the total curriculum and in turn the total person. Through our own examples, we hope to guide our children to develop a responsible circumstance of life with the attitude of Christ.

Our Catholic school does not exist for or by itself; we are part of the community of Immaculate Conception Church and the larger community of Morris. We are a servant school which seeks with courage to practice what we believe. We will worship with an awareness of the needs of those near us and throughout the world. We will feed the hungry, visit the sick and elderly, console the sad, encourage excellence, and advance academics.

We are united with the parents in our commitment to meet the challenges of sharing the faith which has been entrusted to us.
