St. Rita's School

<p>Driving up Baldwin Avenue, you will come across a number of religious educational institutions. On your right you'll see the rather massive St. Rita's Catholic Church, which is attached to the St. Rita's School.</p> <p>Holding over 300 students, from kindergarten through 8th grade, St. Rita's focuses on faith-based education for students with Catholic parents. The lesson-plans are a combination of the teachings of The Bible, Jesus Christ and subjects like history and math.</p> <p>Students are intended to learn to survive in a "diverse and globally competitive environment."</p> <p>The school's mission statement, which can be found <a href="http://st-ritaschool.org/mission-and-philosophy">on their website</a> along with a statement of their philosophy, states the following:</p> <p>"The mission of Saint Rita Catholic School is three-fold: to assist and to enable parents to fulfill their roles as the primary educators of their children, to inspire our students to grow and develop as Catholic citizens and to provide a  liberal arts education which will challenge each student to become responsible citizens educated to the needs of self and society."</p>
