Purpose

The purpose of Queen of Angels School is to give each student the experience and background needed to demonstrate an understanding of the Gospel values:  community service, forgiveness, peace, and justice.  In addition we strive to provide the highest caliber of education in spirituality, academics, morality, and technology.  We believe the school has an important relationship with the whole parish and neighborhood.  Queen of Angels School offers many other activities for our students along with the academic, spiritual and moral education taught throughout the day.  Children may become involved in such activities as service projects, sports, school play, Rainbows for All God's Children, and a foreign language curriculum.  Extra services to support our families include a hot lunch program, before school care and after school care, school counselor, and pastoral associate.

Catholic teachings touch every aspect of student life at Queen of Angels School.  The school plays a vital role in the lives of Queen of Angels parishioners.  Liturgy twice a week, celebration of Feast days, and Church year seasonal traditions unite students with one another and members of the community.  Our Pastor and other spiritual leaders help students prepare for the sacraments and gain a universal understanding of the Roman Catholic Faith.
