The mission of St. Dominic Catholic Elementary & Junior High School is to provide quality Catholic education that promotes academic excellence, moral integrity, and spiritual growth, while nurturing students to become responsible citizens who contribute positively to their communities and society.
Our vision is to be a leading Catholic educational institution that forms intellectually competent, morally upright, and spiritually grounded young leaders prepared to serve God, their communities, and the nation of Liberia.
St. Dominic Catholic School was established in September 1986 as a semi-elementary institution, initially operating in a rented building to serve the educational needs of children within the community.
In 1990, the school was forced to close due to the outbreak of the civil crisis in Liberia. After several years of instability, the school was reopened in late 1995, restoring access to Catholic education for many families in the area.
However, after eight years of operation, the school again faced closure due to renewed civil unrest in Liberia, often referred to as “World War III.” As a result, the institution remained closed from 2003 to 2012.
In 2012, St. Dominic Catholic School was reopened for the third time, marking an important step toward rebuilding educational opportunities in the community. Since then, the school has continued to operate successfully and expand its services.
Today, St. Dominic Catholic School has grown into a fully functioning Junior High School, offering programs from Nursery through Grade 9 and continuing its mission of providing holistic Catholic education.
St. Dominic Catholic School promotes the following values:
The school currently offers the following levels of education:
Early Childhood Education
Elementary School
Junior High School
The curriculum follows the national educational standards of Liberia while incorporating Catholic values and moral teachings that support the holistic development of students.
As a Catholic mission school, St. Dominic Catholic School emphasizes the spiritual and moral development of its students. Religious education, prayer activities, and participation in Church programs help students grow in faith and character.
The school encourages students to practice values such as respect, compassion, discipline, and service to others, which are essential to Catholic education.
Since its establishment, St. Dominic Catholic School has played a vital role in providing accessible and faith-based education to children in the community. Despite the challenges posed by Liberia’s civil conflicts, the school has remained committed to rebuilding and strengthening education.
Today, the institution continues to serve as an important center for learning, moral formation, and community development.
