The Academy at Saints Tabernacle Day School

Saints Tabernacle Day Schoo/ (Academy) opened in the Fall of 1999. Its philosophy is to guide students to perform at their optimum level. The school is founded on the belief of a holistic approach in developing the student's mind, body and spirit. The Academy's purpose is to teach and train the students academically and scripturally through promoting academic achievement, emotional stability, physical fitness, social awareness, cultural diversity and spirituality.

Our Philosophy

We understand that your child comes to us with unique experiences, interests and learning styles. Our goal is to truly know your child well and use this knowledge to guide, support and motivate him or her. We believe that good teaching requires continual professional development, personal reflection and collaboration. We value parent involvement at every level and encourage you to partner with us to give your child the most powerful and joyous learning experience possible.

Communication

Education is a partnership between home and school. We value parent involvement at every level and encourage you to partner with us. In order for this partnership to be effective, we need to be able to communicate with our parents and/caregivers.

Please feel free to call, write a note, or e-mail us if you have concerns or questions about your child’s education. We are always available to schedule a conference to discuss any issue or concern you have regarding your child.
