St. Cecilia School's mission is to shape “Saints and Scholars” by creating an atmosphere of joy, nurturing a child's natural curiosity, and stopping for prayerful pauses. Our endeavor is to create an environment that develops the whole person while stimulating critical thinking under the framework of Catholic Social teachings.
