OUR COMMITMENT

Each and every person at Nativity is called to an integrated culture of safety, where each adult is proactive, preventative, aware, and committed to reducing risk. This can all be done while maintaining a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Discipline, Freedom, and Success
Everyone from Socrates, great saints throughout time, and the leaders of nearly every great modern endeavor have famous quotes highlighting the inextricable relationship between discipline and freedom. By establishing clear rules and expectations within a school environment, students develop the self-discipline and virtues necessary to make responsible choices and ultimately achieve greater autonomy in their lives.
We try and see Christ in each student and want to model his love through our interactions with them. Love, as Christians understand, does not mean allowing someone to act in ways that are counter to their dignity or the dignity of others. As our 2025-26 year has begun, we are witnessing the fruits of our growing culture. We delight in seeing the growth that can spring from a positive and rightly ordered learning environment.
