Ss. Colman-John Neumann is a Catholic school rooted in Christian values. Love of God and neighbor is the cornerstone of our educational philosophy.
Ss. Colman-John Neumann School offers a challenging academic program for all levels of ability for grades K-8. The courses taught follow the Archdiocesan curriculum guidelines. Learning the Catholic faith as well as learning to live that faith every day are important characteristics underlying these studies. Critical thinking skills and the mastery of the fundamentals are the primary emphasis in the implementation of the curriculum. We consider our school to be child-centered, family-sensitive and our principal and teachers are in touch with their own learning styles and those of the students they teach. We boast computer technology across the curriculum, in order to prepare students for future challenges.
The educational environment of Ss. Colman-John Neumann School is supplemented by a wide range of extracurricular activities to support the students as they grow in awareness of God and self. The activities include: Altar Servers, Student Council, Social Justice Program, Yearbook Committee, Scouting Program and CYO Sports.
The principal and teachers of Ss. Colman-John Neumann are qualified and avail themselves of continuing professional development opportunities. They care about and support each other while making the needs of each student a priority.
