Founded in 1950, Holy Redeemer is a K-8 Catholic parish school dedicated to the development of the whole child. We continue today to be an integral part of a vibrant community that comprises Holy Redeemer Parish. Our mission is to foster the development of all children on the spiritual, academic, emotional, and physical level. We encourage each child to reach their potential by utilizing their own individual gifts and uniqueness. Diversity, in the form of learning style or other differences, is embraced and highlighted in the context of the richness of Gods gifts. In our students, we seek to develop Gospel values and practices, a sense of responsibility for Christian service, and an awareness of mutual interdependence with the constantly evolving levels of their community. Within this framework of faith-guided choices, we promote intellectual curiosity and the drive for excellence. We believe that these qualities will empower our students to face the challenges of the future.
We believe that:
Every student is a child of God to be respected by all in our community.
Every child has the capacity to learn.
Children learn at different rates and in different ways.
Teaching to individual learning styles will provide an opportunity for every child to reach his/her potential.
Every student has unique gifts which we should nurture.
Students have a right to a safe and caring environment in which to learn.
Education is the shared responsibility of the parents, teachers, and parish.
Durable self-esteem will lead to self-confidence and success in life.
A strong academic foundation contributes to the development of life-long learners.
An education grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ provides students with a strong sense of responsibility towards themselves, others, and the world.
The creative use of technology in all areas is necessary to prepare our students to be fruitful contributors to our nations future.
Students with a strong foundation in academics and spirituality represent the future of our Church and nation. Adopted in June 2007

The students of Holy Redeemer School should have enough self-confidence and durable self-esteem to reach beyond themselves and their own needs to nurture and support others. This strong commitment to others should reflect Christs likeness, in accordance with the Churchs teachings and with an openness to accept diversity and to value uniqueness and difference.

We are committed to a strong academic education which not only ensures well-educated Catholic citizens who are problem solving individuals, but also produces responsible, accountable citizens who can be readily assimilated into society. It is essential that our students have curious, questioning minds and strong communication skills. Learning critical thinking skills as well as empathy and understanding for the problems they encounter are equally vital to the developmental process.

Because we see ourselves as part of the global community, we want our students to value cultural as well as individual differences. We focus on an appreciation of the arts and on Gods beauty all around us as a means to open individual students to the world in which we live in. We also offer the opportunity to learn about and become comfortable with modern technology.

The parents, faculty and administration of Holy Redeemer School see themselves in partnership. The total education of the child is a united effort, one focused on the well being of each individual child. The relationship between our larger parish community and the school is one of mutual respect.

Holy Redeemer School is a parish school of the Archdiocese of Washington. Most of the students live within walking distance of the school, yet the administration and faculty maintain an open-door policy for all children. Although our student body represents only a few cultural backgrounds, students have a wide range of academic and social abilities and needs. We are committed to helping each child reach his or her maximum level of academic, social, physical, emotional and spiritual growth. – Updated June 2007
