St.
Mary Magdalen School
Landmark
of Faith, Character and Academic Excellence
Philosophy
St.
Mary Magdalen Catholic parish elementary school provides
excellence in academics along with formation in Gospel
values. Like our hilltop Chapel, the school remains a
shining tribute to God, and an educational landmark
serving the families of the greater Camarillo area since
1954. In partnership with our parents, we are committed to
the education of the whole child, academically,
spiritually, socially, emotionally, artistically, and
physically.
Our
Catholic faith permeates a comprehensive academic program
that promotes critical thinking in a global society.
Inspired by the mission and ministry of Jesus, we
provide an education that emphasizes personal
responsibility, acceptance of diversity, the importance of
compassion, and respect for ourselves and others.
Vision
Saint
Mary Magdalen School will inspire in each student a love
of learning and social responsibility consistent with our
Catholic identity. We will provide strong academics
enhanced by technology with an emphasis on critical
thinking. Coupled with a fundamental moral compass
directing each to serve, we will prepare students for the
challenges of a global society.
Mission
Through
differentiated instruction we provide an education
designed to individually challenge and motivate all
students to reach their full potential. Our rigorous,
comprehensive standards-based course of study promotes
critical thinking and prepares students to be leaders in a
global society. In partnership with parents, the mission
of Saint Mary Magdalens K-8 program is to serve the
Camarillo community by providing an exemplary Catholic
education.
