Education

St. Laurentius School
Serving the Fishtown community for 127 years, St. Laurentus provides an excellent education creating future global learners.
At St. Laurentius, virtues are not a separate course of study, they are at the center of everything we do. They are holistically studied and practiced: honesty, reverence, faith, patience, charity, forgiveness, self-control and hope are woven into our curriculum, they permeate our school culture, our routines and traditions.

The Holy Name of Jesus is, first of all, an all-powerful prayer. Each time we say “Jesus” it is an act of perfect love, for we offer to God the infinite love of Jesus.
