PHILOSOPHY
Bishop Larkin Interparochial Catholic School dedicates itself to the mission of educating students within a Christian framework following guidelines of the Church and the Diocese of Saint Petersburg. These guidelines, founded on the love of Jesus Christ, are infused into all areas of the curriculum. This love flows as a river of peace uniting students, educators, and parents. Bishop Larkin Interparochial Catholic School is committed to spiritual growth, academic excellence, and personal development, challenging each student to become a life-long learner. Through the acquisition and use of technology, the faculty of Bishop Larkin Interparochial Catholic School endeavors to bring its students into the twenty-first century. The faculty and administration are aware that all children are unique. Accordingly, our curriculum and our lesson plans reflect the teaching strategies of both inductive and deductive reasoning and their associated learning skills. Interactions among teachers, parents, and students are demonstrated in creative approaches to religion, social studies, language arts, mathematics, science and science projects, the fine arts, music, and physical education, as well as extra- curricular activities. Bishop Larkin Interparochial Catholic School seeks to provide an environment that embodies the four hallmarks of Catholic education: message, community, service, and prayer. Daily prayer and weekly Mass provide nourishment and outward expression for the spiritual growth and development of the school community. Spiritual and intellectual growth and development are implemented in all class settings. We strive to provide our students with a deep sense of faith, responsibility, and commitment of service to both our local and global communities.
