Saint Raymond School, as a parish elementary school, is an integral part of the Faith Community of Saint Raymond de Penafort. We educate and form children in a solid core educational curriculum while instilling within them the values and teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a deep appreciation and understanding of our Catholic faith. We teach and model respect for one's self, for others and for all creation. We regard each child as a unique gift of God. We are committed to being partners with parents/guardians in helping to develop young people who will be well prepared academically and socially, spiritually and morally to become responsible and contributing members of God’s people, in the larger world.

Saint Raymond School is a parish elementary school that is an integral pan of the mission of the Faith Community of Saint Raymond De Penafort in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Our role in this mission, as Christian educators, is to encourage our young people to pursue excellence to their greatest level spiritually and academically, morally and socially. We are a Roman Catholic, faith — based school community that encourages all of its members to grow in and share their own Christianity with each other. In order to accomplish this goal, we rely upon the commitment of the school and parish staff, our parents and the shared resources of the Faith Community at large.

Because the school is an integral part of the parish, students will grow spiritually in their relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith as they share in the liturgical and sacramental life of the larger community. We will strive to create a warm and nurturing environment from which students will emerge with a disciplined and positive image of themselves, while appreciating their own and one another's uniqueness as daughters and sons of God. We firmly believe in the Christian value of showing true respect toward others, their person and their belongings. We will not tolerate anything less. We will also provide opportunities for leadership and generous Christian service so that our young people will become loving, just and active members of God's People, the Church.
