Portsmouth Catholic is a regional school under the direct supervision of the Superintendent of Schools for the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. Our supporting parishes are: St. Marys Bowers Hill, Church of St. Therese, Church of the Resurrection, Holy Angels, St. Pauls and St. Mary of the Presentation.
The philosophy of Portsmouth Catholic Regional School is to assist parents in the faith formation and development of their children by:
Providing a diversified educational program, which recognizes and values the uniqueness of our students and strives for academic excellence. The teachings of Catholic doctrine and the integration of faith into everyday life are the core of our curriculum.
Creating a strong Christian community among students, parents and staff, where children are nurtured and challenged to achieve their full potential in the faith community.
Encouraging the students and parents to become involved in the liturgies, sacraments, activities, and service projects offered by our parishes and school who serve our community locally and globally.
These values, nurtured by a staff dedicated to teach as Jesus did, encourage our students to respond personally to the call, challenges, and commitment of the Christian way of life in the world today and in the future.
