Fatima invites you to contact the school if you are interested in grades 6 through 12.

We invite you to our Open House Saturday August 14th 10:30AM- 12:00PM

For information or to arrange a tour call: 401-245-4960.
Fatima offers both college prep and honors programs integrated with many co-curricular clubs as well as Varsity and Junior Varsity athletics.

Small class size is the ONLY accurate assurance of student success. Research conducted by the US Department of Education consistently shows that the only objective factor found to be related with higher student success was small class size. What is even more striking is that these achievement gains were more strongly linked to smaller classes in the upper rather than the lower grades.

We have provided small classes for our students in each of the 45 years we have been a community partner in the East Bay area. At Fatima “ expect success “ is more than just a tag line. It is what we do each and every day, in everything we do. If you decide that you want to ensure the academic and social success of your child, then you and your child/ren should come to our school and learn more. Meet our dedicated administration, staff, and educators. Tour our building and learn about both our academic and extra-curricular activities, including a wide variety of clubs, sports, and community-service projects. We look forward to meeting you and showing you how affordable a quality Catholic school education can be for students in Grades 6 – 12.

HERITAGE

FATIMA is a private, Catholic, co-educational, junior-senior college-preparatory school, directed by the Sisters of Saint Dorothy and founded, in the spirit of Saint Paula Frassinetti, in 1965.

St. Paula Frassinetti, the foundress of the Sisters of Saint Dorothy, received a charism of service within the Church, enabling her to promote the integral growth of the person through Gospel values, according to the spirit and style of Jesus.

The Sisters of Saint Dorothy, as followers of Paula, carry out this service through education in all its forms, with preference for youth and for those most in need.

The vitality and dynamism of Paula’s original spirit unites us – Religious and lay collaborators – in a common mission of evangelization that is enriched by the personal gifts of each individual.

Paula’s pedagogy and style of service is “by way of the heart and of love”, creating a family environment which fosters personal growth. In this environment, one feels accepted, loved, self-confident and energized.

In our dealings with our students, the following characteristics give evidence of our having imbibed the spirit of simplicity with which St. Paula permeated all her relationships:

§ Goodness and gentleness in words and behavior
§ Patience, serenity and self-control
§ Moderation, especially when reprimanding or punishing
§ Firmness, consistency and stability
§ Respect, avoiding all offensive or sarcastic expressions
§ Impartiality, fairness and gratuitousness
§ Openness to communication and encouragement
§ Awareness of the need to set a good example

Having absorbed the teachings of the Gospel and allowed them to transform us into loving and caring persons, we work with great dedication to promote justice and fraternity, so that the world may be transformed into the family of God, and the values of the Gospel become the norm of life.

FATIMA demonstrates the belief that the truly educating community acts as the agent of change and is the key to the discovery, liberation, and constant revitalization of each person.

As members of this Christian community, FATIMA faculty and students encourage their own and each other’s spiritual awareness, intellectual strength, and development of a social consciousness that leads to a commitment to peace, justice, and personal responsibility.

In a spirit of simplicity enhanced by sincerity, warmth, dedication, and generosity, FATIMA faculty and students develop, according to his/her gifts, a genuine integration of personal individuality and communal responsibility. Each person channels his/her energies toward various endeavors that contribute to an evangelized society.

It is with a lively spirit of hope that the students and faculty in this type of academic atmosphere will appreciate and learn from the past, as they live the present with a view toward creating a dynamic and faith-filled future.
