As a parish rooted in Ignatian charism and Jesuit traditions, our students are nurtured to meet the Ignatian Elementary Schools Network’s schoolwide learning expectations. The “Grad at Grad” will be more loving, religious, intellectually competent, open to growth, and committed to doing justice. These expectations are the filter we use when we make decisions ranging from curriculum to facilities.
