PHILOSOPHY:

We believe that our school will lead students toward a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ to give them a fuller meaning of their existence and develop a community faith in an atmosphere permeated with the Gospel spirit of love. We accomplish this within the guidelines of the Catholic Church and the Diocese of Allentown, in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

ABOUT US:

Located in Laureldale, Pennsylvania, we are a fully accredited regional Catholic School which serves students from urban, suburban, and rural areas in grades preschool through grade eight. Our newly-constructed facility includes a large computer lab and library, gymnasium with retractable bleachers, and a social hall with modern cafeteria facilities.

Holy Guardian Angels Regional School's academic, athletic, and religious education programs recognize and respect the diversity of backgrounds as well as the talents of our students. We are mindful of the need to develop and promote a Christian student relationship focused on loving and serving God, self and others, while striving to achieve high academic standards in order to become open-minded individuals who love and contribute to the community. An atmosphere of peace and justice exists within our school community and is supported by our discipline policies.

The class sizes are limited to afford each student individual attention; which, in turn, fosters community awareness and the nurturing of life-long learners.

Students leaving Holy Guardian Angels Regional School take with them a greater sense of pride, self-esteem, and accomplishment. A strong foundation for life is constructed at Holy Guardian Angels.
