Philosophy:

Saint Vincent Ferrer High School subscribes to the philosophy that education is a process of growth and development - a process based on strong faith in God and on respect for each person as an individual and as a responsible member of society. The entire school program encourages students to develop sound moral values and to form valuable intellectual and social habits.
