Philosophy
Notre Dame Elementary School is a
Catholic School, located in East Stroudsburg, PA. Notre
Dame is staffed by the Sisters, Servants of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary and dedicated lay teachers. The
administration and faculty work in close association
with the pastors of the supporting parishes.
Notre Dame Elementary is dedicated to developing the
whole child as a worthwhile member of the Christian
community. Ours is a Catholic School which strives to
develop Christian ideals in all of the students who pass
through its doors. Children are our most prized
treasure; we believe that the education we give them
should provide the competencies needed to become
productive, useful citizens of their communities and
country. Furthermore, we believe that this educational
institution has a duty to teach in all facets of life.
Striving to maintain a hierarchy of values and a
priority of values and a priority of objectives, we
endeavor to "Teach As Jesus Taught." Notre Dame
Elementary helps the child shape his goals in the light
of the Gospel spirit of freedom and charity. It stands
on the basis that each student has come forth from God
and will return to Him.
Recognizing always in each student the likeness of
Christ, and again, the duty to form Christ in one's self
and others, the teachers guide the students with
firmness, tempered with kindness, cognizant of the
educational, social, and economic development of their
particular environment, alert to the latest and improved
methods to teach the present day child.
