St. Linus Pre-Kindergarten, Norwalk

We the faculty and staff of St. Linus School strive to promote a faith community through which is formed an integrated, self-reliant and compassionate people who come to know God in Jesus, in human experience and in nature. We are committed to providing a thorough doctrinal education of the teachings of the Catholic Church. We seek to lead our students to a sense of responsibility to the Church, to society, and to an awareness of social justice. St. Linus School is committed to the education of children in partnership with parents who recognize that “for people of faith, the wisdom and culture transmitted by the school are enriched and put into perspective by the Gospel message of Jesus”(Growing Together). While the school functions as a community, it also functions within a community. Parental involvement and community support are necessary to the attainment of our goals. “Community is at the heart of Christian education not simply as a concept to be taught but as a reality to be lived” (To Teach As Jesus Did). By emphasizing the Christian dignity and spiritual uniqueness of each child, we encourage the students to recognize and embrace a plurality of cultures. We strive to awaken in them global awareness and their responsibility to use their God given talents in service to others. We foster respect for the wonders of God’s creation and encourage responsible attitudes in caring for the environment.
