What are your school's beliefs?
At St. Philip Neri Catholic School, we believe that each student is a valued individual with unique intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical needs. We know that a student’s self esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect between students and staff.
We are guided by the truth that all students can learn. Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches. A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning. Teachers, administrators, parents, clergy, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school’s mission. We are committed to a process of continuous improvement; this process is imperative for our school as we form students who will be confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
What grades does St. Philip offer?
St. Philip Neri School offers grades PK3 through 7. We also operate an Early Learning Center that serves children from six weeks of age through 2 years old on the far side of our campus.
What are your school hours?
Regular school days begin at 8:30a.m. and end at 3:30p.m. for students in grades PK – 7. Children who arrive before 8:00 a.m., or remain after 3:45p.m., should report to the before/after school care program, and parents will be responsible for payment. This policy is to insure your child’s safety since there will be no adult supervision prior to 8:00 a.m.or after 3:45p.m. Bus riders will be supervised until all buses have arrived.
Are you accredited?
St. Philip Neri School is accredited by the State of Louisiana and has maintained national accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)/AdvancED since 2003. Our school maintains membership in the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) and the Louisiana Federation of Citizens for Educational Freedom (CEF).
