Philosophy

Saint Ambrose School is a Catholic elementary school of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. The foundation of the philosophy of Saint Ambrose is the person of Jesus Christ. Inspired by Him and sustained by the love of His Sacred Heart, we view learning as a process which integrates the spiritual, intellectual, moral, and personal development of each child. Grounded in a rich tradition, yet geared toward the future, we strive to recognize and address the individual needs of each of our students.

Saint Ambrose School community recognizes the parents as primary educators of their children and endeavors to help them fulfill their obligations and realize their hopes.

We develop students’ abilities and talents in accordance with their individual potentials.

We promote self-discipline and foster a positive self-image in aiding the student in his or her development as a responsible, caring person.

We stress the importance of personal faith in building a community of love, which will affect and serve every facet of society. Through instruction, guidance, and development of faith, students " . . .can experience learning and living, fully integrated in the light of faith." (Sharing the light of Faith p.144)
