A loving home is a child’s foundation
… and parents are the first teachers. Our school builds upon this foundation. St. Rafael the Archangel provides a safe environment where families of all faiths are welcomed and encouraged. We provide students a well-rounded, excellent personalized education. We prepare our students for bright futures through a multiage classroom and personalized learning approach.
St. Rafael is a K-8 Catholic school that focuses on developing students’ character and moral values, teaching virtues such as kindness, compassion, and respect for others. We aim to create a safe and supportive environment where students feel valued and respected.
Support Programs
SHARP Literacy
At SHARP Literacy, students from K4-2nd grade do hands-on, visual arts-based approaches designed to help spark curiosity and a love of learning. Students develop a deeper understanding of complex vocabulary and build the background knowledge that is so important for reading comprehension. We bring visual arts experiences with professional artists and authors into the classroom and guide students through educational tours.
Ignatian Volunteers Corp
IVC is a faith-based non-profit that was founded in 1995 by two Jesuit priests who envisioned matching the life experiences and spiritual longings of men and women (50 or older) with established community organizations serving the poor and marginalized. These volunteers bring 1:1 reading support to scholars in grades 1-5 and focus on phonics, vocabulary, and reading fluency. The 1:1 reading program is a weekly support in which students work on building their reading comprehension skills along with connecting with a member of the community.
