Philosophy: The program at St. Matthew’s School promotes the child’s total physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual development. We encourage in each child a love of God as we know God in Jesus Christ, a positive view of self, creative self-expression, an attitude of cooperation and sharing, and an expanding knowledge of the world in which we live.
