The mission of St. Vincent de Paul is to provide quality spiritual, educational, social and service opportunities in a respectful learning environment reflective of our Catholic beliefs.
We live this mission through:
Open, honest communication, collaboration, and cooperation among parents, students, and staff in order to promote a productive learning environment.
Providing all children with the opportunity to learn and succeed in ways that match their God-given talents.
Students and staff taking responsibility for their learning and behavior.
Providing accommodations accordingly to address the pace and style of learning for every student.
Treating all people with dignity and respect.
Emulating our patron saint, St. Vincent de Paul, by living united in faith, rooted in charity, and fulfilled in love in all that we do.
Underscoring learning is a lifelong process.
Teaching, supporting, and modeling our Catholic religious beliefs to foster spiritual growth.
St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School is home to more than 800 students, preschool through eighth grade, from the St. Vincent de Paul Parish in northwest Omaha. The parish was founded in 1991 and was named in honor of a French cleric who devoted his life to serving the poor. St. Vincent de Paul School strives to imitate the spirit of our patron saint in prayer, worship, and service to those in need. Dedicated in 1994, the school building has expanded several times to meet the demands of a rapidly growing young parish.
SVdP has built a reputation for challenging curriculum and graduating students who are well-prepared for high school. Your child will be offered a comprehensive curriculum of core subjects, as well as religious education, art, music, physical education, guidance, technology and Spanish. Programs are offered to high-ability students who excel beyond the regular curriculum, as well as to those students who need additional help.
St. Vincent de Paul School is accredited by the State of Nebraska and has a Blue Ribbon School designation by the US Department of Education.
Our dedicated staff of teachers averages more than 15 years of teaching experience, with many holding advanced degrees. Three teachers work with students who have special learning needs, and a high-ability teacher works with students who excel beyond the regular curriculum. Our curriculum includes teachers of art, Spanish, technology, PE, and music. The learning environment is further enhanced by a variety of extracurricular activities including MathCounts, speech team, Book Bowl, the Awesome Angels, and Eagle’s Wings choirs, musicals, plays and a variety of athletic sports and organized leagues.
