St. Philomena School, Des Moines
Our mission is to teach, model, and promote Gospel values in all areas of a balanced curriculum so that the teachings of Christ become our focus and Christ Himself our constant point of reference. A St. Philomena student is a student of the Catholic faith, an active learner, and a servant leader. St. Philomena School is a RTI (Response to Intervention) School and has fully implemented this philosophy.
