St. Elizabeth Seton School

Philosophy

Driven by the spirit of St. Vincent, St. Louise, and St. Elizabeth Ann, we and our collaborators commit to keeping alive the love of God and a deep reliance on Providence. As a Vincentian Catholic school, we are committed to the education of students from the multicultural and economically diverse populations of East Palo Alto and the surrounding communities. We recognize that parents are the first and most important educators of their children. We invite and encourage parents and extended families to be involved in their children's education, to take an active role in the life of the school, and to be part of a team for a positive future. Together, we work to motivate and inspire students to reach their full potential, to be contributing citizens, and to be active members of their Catholic Community. Together, we seek to challenge children to act responsibly, achieve academically, and nurture a personal friendship with God.
