Faith. Excellence. Family.
At St. Bernadette Catholic School, we educate the whole child — mind, body, and soul — in a community where students are known, challenged, supported, and formed as disciples of Christ.
The mission of St. Bernadette Catholic School is to educate the whole child — mind, body, and soul — in an authentic Catholic environment, guiding them to grow in grace on their journey towards heaven.
St. Bernadette is a Catholic school community where faith and learning belong together. Students experience strong academics, caring teachers, meaningful traditions, leadership opportunities, and the personal attention that comes from being part of a true school family.

Explore Our ExpansionSt. Bernadette Catholic School was built in 1965 and is surrounded by six acres of green space. We are a Preschool through 8th grade program, and an integral part of the St. Bernadette Parish community. We have a strong faith-based tradition which began with the Franciscan Sisters of Stella Niagara, NY — a tradition we continue today.
The community of St. Bernadette School is committed to developing the whole child. Students grow in the ability to love through an awareness of God's love, an acceptance of oneself, and respect for others. Our students develop characteristics of leadership that enable them to live out their commitment as Christians in an ever-changing world. St. Bernadette Catholic School strives to be child and family centered.

They are full of energy and laughter; are dedicated and intelligent. Our students are engaged. They want to come to school, and actively participate in learning. They feel safe. They make life-long friends here. Our students know that their parents partner with teachers to support their learning, and they talk with their parents about their experiences at school. Our students are prepared to attend the schools of their choice. They become doctors, teachers, West Point Cadets, play the trumpet in the marching band or develop their own business.
St. Bernadette Catholic School provides all of our students with an excellent academic education in an authentic Catholic environment. Our Preschool–8th grade program helps all of our students meet their potential while sharing the doctrines and traditions of our Catholic faith with them.
