Mission & Philosophy
Our Mission:St. Matthias High School is dedicated to educating young women in FAITH, with the FAMILY, for the FUTURE.
Our Philosophy:
The philosophy of St. Matthias High School is rooted in the concept of family. As members of the family of God, students are encouraged to grow in their relationship to the living, loving God, who calls each by name.
Essential to the philosophy of St. Matthias High School is the recognition of the importance of each student's family and the role of parents as primary educators. The faculty and staff are committed to cooperating with parents in meeting the spiritual, academic, and social needs of the students. The St. Matthias High School family respects and loves the cultural heritage each student brings to the school community and strives to broaden the students' appreciation of the customs and traditions of all cultures.
St. Matthias High School is an archdiocesan girls' high school staffed by caring and dedicated teachers. A unique family atmosphere permeates all aspects of school life. Within the St. Matthias High School family, a fundamental focus is placed on the development of a positive sense of self-worth and on the importance of each individual. Students who value themselves and others have the potential to grow into mature Christian women, ready to take their place as leaders in service to the world community in their chosen fields. Concern for peace and justice is encouraged as part of the Christian life. Emphasis on responsible decision-making and on accountability for choices made is key to the moral and personal development of each student. Expectations regarding conduct, both in and out of class, are clearly delineated and promote growth in self-discipline.
