The mission of St. Ambrose Catholic School is to nurture and facilitate the growth of its children through an integrated program of faith development and academics. This is carried out daily for the approximately 34 Pre-K (three and four year olds) and 220 students attending the K-8 program at St. Ambrose.

The core curriculum includes religion, English, reading, mathematics, social studies and science. The core subjects are supplemented with formal classes in computer literacy, music and fitness. In addition, students have the option of participating in extracurricular including Computer Club, PC Wet and sports.

A number of services are provided by the school or local agencies for children wishing to make use of them. A group of "grandparents" come to school to give primary students opportunities to practice oral reading. Before school care begins at 6:30 AM and after school care is provided until 6:00 PM. The D.A.R.E. program is provided to instruct children in drug awareness.

St. Ambrose works hard to offset costs with grant money. Over the last two years, we have been awarded over $36,000 in grant money for projects ranging from music books and cd's, rubberizing the playground, and adding new computers to our computer lab and classrooms.
