We, the Mater Dolorosa School Community, believe in the Catholic School as a form of education; unique because it integrates religious, academic, social and physical truths and values.
We believe that Mater Dolorosa is a place where Christian values are modeled, expressed and incorporated into all activities, so that they are developed and nurtured in each person in accordance with the Gospel values.
We believe that our school exists to promote positive learning experiences that develop personal growth in the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values.
