Welcome

Welcome to our school located in Castroville, Texas. St. Louis Catholic School has been educating the children of this and the neighboring communities since 1868 in a tradition of remarkable faith formation and academic excellence. Our faculty and staff provide a positive and nurturing environment for our students. SLCS parents are proud to invest in the Catholic education at St. Louis School. It is an investment that provides benefits for life – not for just the individual, but for our communities, state and nation as well. Our Catholic students graduate at the top of their class and go on to serve in careers that build and strengthen the very fabric of our faith and society.

Faith, knowledge, discipline, morals, love and service are the characteristic pillars found in St. Louis Catholic School (SLCS). Our Catholic faith is not just taught but is at the very foundation of our school life. Regular Mass, prayer and community service, songs, outreach activities, and readings reveal the beautiful message of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We live our faith and model kind, respectful and loving relationships.

St. Louis Catholic School is also dedicated to excellence in academics. Our curriculum sets high standards and expectations for students to succeed in a positive, safe environment that attempts to meet the needs of all students. Safety, order, and discipline in classrooms allow students to focus on learning and thrive emotionally in a healthy environment. Strong morals allow us to navigate life with Christian strength and grace.

Our technology at SLCS is second to none. In every classroom there is an interactive whiteboard, a document camera, and a computer center.  Each student in grades Kinder through 5th is assigned a Google Chrome Book to use for academic enrichment and curriculum-related projects. Teacher pages are also available on our web page for parent and teacher interaction. Our media center (Library and Computer lab) services students in 3K-5^th grade and provides tutorials, keyboarding, and technology literacy. In addition, the media center is the hub for Renaissance Learning in reading and mathematics. Through Renaissance Learning’s Home Connect, parents can check student progress in Accelerated Reader, Accelerated Math, and Math Facts in a Flash from any computer with an Internet connection. Additionally, Follett Destiny library resources are accessible online 24/7 and offers eBooks for check out. Technology is a reality at SLCS and is part of daily instruction so that everyone benefits. “SLCS is a country school with a 21st Century twist.”
