We require that all families help sell a box of World’s Finest Chocolates at $60.00 per box y and sell tickets for our major fund raiser “Green and Gold.” This will help reduce the amount of tuition families would have to pay out of pocket.

It is important that all families participate in the success and good management of our school. There are many opportunities in which families can help. As part of our stewardship, all families are required to offer 15 hours community service for the school year. If families are unable to provide these service hours, an additional $300.00 will be added to your tuition. These measures are meant to support families in need and help keep our school safe and strong.

Please ask us about our tuition assistance programs for families with multiple children. Also, find out about our scholarship programs that may help families reach their tuition goals.

St. Emily School

 School Philosophy

As members of the St. Emily Parish School community, we believe in Catholic education as a vital part of the evangelizing mission of the Church. Through a Christian environment, we believe Gospel values will be fostered within the development of the individual’s full potential.

We are committed to maintaining a climate of respect in which all can learn and apply the skills that will allow them to be successful and productive members of society. In a collaborative spirit, we share with the parent/guardian, the first educators of the child, in developing an atmosphere wherein respect, support and the modeling of positive behaviors is primary.

We accept responsibility for providing a safe environment wherein a student has the opportunity to reach his/her full potential. With an emphasis on literacy and problem-solving skills, the school provides varied learning experiences, addressing the uniqueness of each student.

We believe the teacher facilitates learning and models a positive learning attitude, which encourages students to continually strive for personal success throughout life.

Mission Statement Save

St. Emily Catholic School accepts the Church’s challenge to create a religious, educational and evangelizing community, enlightened by the gift of faith, which parents, as primary educators, have nurtured.  We strive to foster a sense of independence in each student so that he/she may be responsible, respectful, and make right choices.  In pursuit of academic excellence, curriculum is implemented to foster and develop the talents of each student.

St. Raymond School

Mission​ ​Statement
St. Raymond School educates and forms children with a comprehensive curriculum while instilling the values and teachings of the Gospel. We are committed to partnering with parents/guardians to develop young people who will be well prepared academically, morally, socially and spiritually to become contributing members of society.

School​ ​Philosophy
St. Raymond School is a parish elementary school that is an integral part of the mission of the Faith Community of Saint Raymond de Penafort in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Our role in this mission, as Christian educators, is to encourage our young people to pursue excellence to their greatest level spiritually and academically, morally and socially. We are a Roman Catholic, faith based school community that encourages all of its members to grow in and share their own Christianity with each other. In order to accomplish this goal, we rely upon the commitment of the school and parish staff, our parents, and the shared resources of the Faith Community at large.

Because the school is an integral part of the parish, students will grow spiritually in their relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith as they share in the liturgical and sacramental life of the larger community. We will strive to create a warm and nurturing environment from which students will emerge with a disciplined and positive image of themselves, while appreciating their own and one another’s uniqueness as daughters and sons of God. We firmly believe in the Christian value of showing true respect toward others, their person, and their belongings. We will not tolerate anything less. We will also provide opportunities for leadership and generous Christian service so that our young people will become loving, just, and active members of God’s People, the Church.
