Philosophy We, the Faith Community of Immaculate Heart of Mary School, are committed to Jesus Christ, and therefore called by Him to minister in love to others. We strive to provide a curriculum infused with a spirituality which nurtures openness, growth, the ability to adapt to change, and a gentleness and respect toward all God’s creation.
