Saint Philip School

St. Philip is a very welcoming and open community filled with lots of people who dedicate their lives to making this a wonderful place.  We were awarded an A grade recently by the Indiana Department of Education and are very proud of our accomplishment.

Mass

Our students, with the exception of preschool and pre-K, attend mass once a week and all students have an opportunity to participate in our school masses throughout the year. Each 2nd-8th grade homeroom is responsible for planning mass on a rotating basis and the students are able to be lectors, petition readers, and gift bearers. Those students in grades 5-8 may also participate as servers once they are trained.  In the past, our 5th-8th graders have had the opportunity to participate in choir at masses.
​
​We hope that their ability to participate helps them deepen their relationship with Christ and gives them a better understanding of what it means to be a participating member of the Catholic Church.   

​Scholarship and Grades

We accept applications for students wishing to enter on the School Choice voucher program and those that might benefit from the tax-credit scholarship program. 

​Our curriculum includes language arts, math, science, social studies, technology, art, music, physical education, health, and religion. Our standardized test scores (ISTEP+ and ILEARN) consistently remain among in the top 5% of all Indiana schools.

Extra-Curricular Activities

​St. Philip offers many extra-curricular activities as well.  The athletic teams that we have include soccer for grades 3-8, although often combined with other schools, volleyball for girls in grades 5-8, basketball for all grades, wrestling for boys in all grades, and track for 4th-8th grades.  In the non-sports realm we have a speech team for 6th-8th graders, Spell Bowl for 4th and 5th graders, Math Bowl for 5th and 6th graders, Lego Robotics for 7th and 8th graders, Sea Perch Robotics for 6th and 7th graders, Jr. Legion of Mary for 2nd-8th graders, Teen Power for 7th and 8th graders and Student Council for 5th-8th graders.

We look forward to getting to know you and sharing our school and community with you!
