Catholic Identity

 

Catholic Identity is at the foundation of a Catholic school. It is our reason for existence. The Gospel of Christ and his very person are therefore to inspire and guide the Catholic school in its every dimension, its philosophy of education, curriculum, community life, the selection and ongoing formation of its teachers and staff, and its physical environment.

Also, Catholic schools find their true justification in the mission of the Church; therefore our schools foundations are based on an educational philosophy in which faith, culture, and life are brought into harmony. And further, the schools governing body, policies and documents and its management practices reflect the Catholic mission and philosophy of the school. Our schools leadership teams, faculty and staff know, support and model the teachings of the Church.

 Our Catholic School’s intellectual development and growth as a Christian go forward hand-in-hand. As students move up from one class into the next we help our students become aware that a relationship exists between faith and human culture. The world of human culture and the world of religion are not like two parallel lines that never meet; points of contact are established within the human person. Therefore, in writing and delivering the curriculum in all disciplines, our teachers constantly search for contact points between faith and human culture.
