Located at 7580 Center Parkway, in Sacramento, Ca. St. Charles Borromeo School is a Catholic elementary (K-8) school that teaches the Catholic faith supported by a strong educational program.
St. Charles Borromeo School serves the spiritual, intellectual, cultural, social, psychological, and physical needs of all its students because all are children of God, and "...have a dignity of their own. They are important not only for what they will do in the future, but also for what they are here and now." (Sharing the Light of Faith, #181) Therefore, the curriculum of the school must be structured so as to provide the experiences necessary to educate the students towards their ultimate goal: That of living a fully human life, aware of their responsibilities to contribute to the building of a better Christian world. Also, our school community recognizes that "...while it was relatively easy in more stable times for parents to educate their children and transmit their values to them, the immense complexity of today's society makes this a truly awesome task. Without forgetting that the parents are 'the first to communicate the faith to their children and to educate them, " (Apostolate of the Laity, #11), the Christian community must make a generous effort to help fulfill this duty." (To Teach as Jesus Did, #52) Therefore, St. Charles Borromeo School strives to:
Develop in the students an experience of faith as a personal
relationship with God. (Sharing the Light of Faith, #179)
Be a true community of faith and adhere to the policy of non-discrimination as described in our admission policy.
Develop an awareness in the students that the expression of personal freedom must be modified by the recognition that other people, also, have rights and freedoms. (Sharing the Light of Faith, #178)
Integrate religious truth and values with the rest of learning and living. (To Teach as Jesus Did, #106)
