Holy Angels School, a Catholic Christian school serving the center city community, believes that the strengths of the child and family are the focus for growth. The philosophy of Holy Angels Catholic School is based on the Seven Principles of unity, the Nguzo Saba:

UNITY (Umoja) - To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.
SELF- DETERMINATION (Kujichagulia) - To define ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY (Ujima) - To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems and to solve them together.
COOPERATIVE ECOMONICS (Ujamaa) - To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other business and profit from them together.
PURPOSE (NIA) - To make as our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their greatness.
CREATIVITY (Kuumba) - To do always as much as we can in the way we can in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than when we inherited it.
FAITH (Imani) - To believe with all our heart in our parents, our teachers, our leader, our people and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
