Student Life

Student Life

Essential to the Children's Growth

Saint Patrick Academy puts a premium on the development of the whole person and offers programming in both the arts and athletics. Essential to the growth of children’s perspective and imagination, offerings in music, art, and drama teach students to look and listen for beauty. Along with music recitals, weekly piano lessons, the painting of icons, concerts, and impromptu art shows, SPA stages a major drama production each spring.

Elementary students have weekly physical education classes that expose them to a variety of formal and informal physical activities, games, and sports. The Strength by Strebel program, developed by Mr. PJ Strebel, is offered exclusively for SPA students in Grades K-8. Through this strength and conditioning program, teaches the basic movement patterns of the human body and creates a foundation of strength training by learning proper form and technique. Elementary and middle school students can also participate in fun competition in the Athletic Program. Offerings include basketball for elementary students and soccer, basketball, cross country, track, and volleyball for middle schoolers.

Athletics

Saint Patrick Academy has seen that participation in athletic activities helps foster the development of the student physically, mentally, socially and spiritually to create a well-rounded educational experience.

Our philosophy of “never judge yourself by the scoreboard” is reinforced by focusing on how students use their athletic opportunity to learn the concept of being on a team for the greater good.

Spiritual Life

It has been noted that the longest journey we ever make is between our head — what we know — and our heart — what we do. Sometimes there exists a disconnect between what we know to be right and what our actions tell others we think is right. Said plainly: it is not enough to know truth. We must live it out. As educators and as parents, the responsibility of developing a lesson plan falls squarely on each one of us.
