St. Cornelius School is devoted to and strives for quality Catholic education where the primary purpose is to instill in each child a knowledge and love of God.

We strive to educate students spiritually, intellectually, affectively, emotionally, physically and socially.

Keeping in mind each child’s uniqueness, we believe that learning is achieved through the combined effort and interaction of faculty, parents and students. While acknowledging the parent/guardian as primary educator, we believe that parents are partners in the educational process of their children and that students cannot develop to their fullest potential without cooperation from the home.
