Divine Redeemer Catholic School: The DR Difference

What’s our WOW?  What sets us apart?  

  1. We serve children first and foremost-Every consideration is made with ‘what is best for our children’ in mind; we aspire to grow the whole child by challenging each one where they are emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, socially.

     

  2. Deep sense of purpose-A strong Catholic identity as a cornerstone fosters students who are rooted in faith to be confident, servant leaders. Community members have a deep sense of purpose and cultivate that sense of purpose in students by asking:  what are you doing with what you’ve been given?

  3. Strength of academics-Strong academics as a second cornerstone; striving to meet  the criteria of National Blue Ribbon schools, our students have performed at least 1 year above grade level consistently for decades. Students are deeply familiarized with academic rigor.

  4. Faith, faith ,faith- Faith is a third cornerstone; We are Catholic out loud- faith is interwoven through visible role modeling and continuous practice of prayer, discipline, liturgy, and sacraments.

  5. Safety-continuously working to improve a secure environment; children, teachers, and staff must feel that they are in safe hands and out of harm’s way.

  6. Responsible use of technology-technology is used intentionally in every class as a tool to enhance

  7. Life skills of success-virtue and morals are directly taught: perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism and self-control are instilled in the leaders of tomorrow.

  10. Graduate good citizens- students committed to continuous learning, social justice, care of the poor and the planet-ready to help, no matter the need.
