Spiritual Life

A Community of Faith

The distinguishing quality of a St. Sebastian’s education is its spiritual depth.

As the only Catholic school in the Independent School League, we provide our students with an educational experience that transcends the classroom—one that invites them to grow in their faith, grounds their character, and instills universal Gospel values. 

Every student strives to live the order of the day: “Love God, work hard, and take good care of one another.”

All Are Welcome Here

Rooted in Catholic traditions, St. Sebastian’s fosters a nurturing environment for students to discover, explore, and deepen their faith.

Our community is enriched by students and faculty from many faith traditions, and those from no faith tradition at all. All of us are engaged in the pursuit of truth and striving to lead happy, fulfilled lives of service to God and neighbor.
