Our Philosophy

We want to create a "way of life" rooted in Christ and the gospel teachings.  We try to teach as Jesus did.  The future of the Catholic Church lies in our youth.  It is our responsibility to encourage the development of each child's God-given gifts through the Gospel message, through service to others, through a sense of community and through worship.  We strive for academic excellence in a Christ-centered community.  We celebrate the diversity of all God's world.  We recognize parents as the primary educators of their children and we have an obligation to foster this parent partnership in support of student progress, growth and learning.

Curriculum

St. Isidore School Curriculum is based on the guidelines and standards set by the Joliet Diocesan Catholic Schools.  Our curriculum reflects our Catholic identity and moral values are infused throughout the curriculum on all grade levels and all subjects.  Included in our Religion curriculum is the Family Life Series.  This series not only covers human sexuality, but also discusses drugs, alcohol abuse and AIDS education.  Students are also instructed in the Safe Touch Program as directed by the Diocese of Joliet.  Our aim will be to assist you, as parents, in developing Christian values and attitudes in your children.

Admission

St. Isidore School operates under the auspices of the Diocese of Joliet admitting students of any race, color, sex, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally available to students at the schools.  St. Isidore School does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin or ethnic background in its educational and employment policies and practices provided that parents support the school philosophy and objectives.
