Fatima Catholic Academy

The community of Our Lady of Fatima School believe that our fundamental purpose is to provide a truly Catholic education for our students. Since education is a preparation for complete being, the entire school community works together to foster the emotional, moral, social, and physical development leading to knowledge and excellence. We encourage... our students to strive to reach their full potential, to prepare them to function responsibly in a democratic society, and to lead a productive life. Our philosophy is based on a code of Christian conduct. To teach as Jesus did, we must develop in our students a clear understanding of the teachings of Jesus and His church, a sense of personal integrity, the love of thy neighbor that stems from civic involvement and social action, and accountability to God as Father. By adhering to this code, we strive as a community to teach our students individual responsibility that gives witness to Christian beliefs and values. Recognizing the unique characteristics of the complete individual and the variations in patterns of growth, motivation, and development, as well as the needs of a democratic society, our school aims to provide teaching that inspires, challenges, informs, and constantly searches for methods of improvement. We value a classroom climate that recognizes academic excellence and encourages achievement. Our Lady of Fatima is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the state of Connecticut, and the Diocese of Bridgeport.Read More
