Mission Statement

The mission of Saint Damian School is to ensure that individual students reach their potential through the development of their Catholic faith, character, citizenship and academics.

St. Damian School is a Catholic educational community that is rooted in the Gospel values and guided by the Spirit to foster academically successful students grounded in faith, character and citizenship. Our mission is to insure that each student reaches his or her individual learning potential.

Saint Damian School is a Christian educational community of the Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of Chicago in Oak Forest, Illinois. As such, it is an entity of Saint Damian Parish and operates according to the policies established by the Archdiocese of Chicago Office of Catholic Schools.

Saint Damian School is a community of students, faculty, parents, staff, and clergy united for the purpose of parochial education in the Catholic tradition. Through mutual respect and sharing of ideas among students, faculty, and parents Saint Damian School provides an environment for spiritual and academic growth and an education that fosters the dignity of the individual.

Saint Damian School continually strives to provide the best possible education for its students by developing the knowledge, attitudes, and skills essential for life-long learning and by instilling a sense of Christian values. This experience of learning in a Christian Community provides a sound foundation for students which will enable them to live and grow in the Gospel message throughout their lives.
