School Notes:

Striving for a culture of excellence:
- Where students encounter Christ
- And learn to see truths in relation to each other
- So that they illuminate each other and reality
- Leading to an appreciation for the unity of all truth.
We Provide Classical Education in the Catholic Tradition. We Provide Classical Education which:
- Exposes the students to Truth, Beauty and Goodness.
- Is Structured and integrated, not only the transmission of knowledge but also the integration and synthesis of information.
- Focuses on the acquisition of knowledge through reading by focusing whenever possible on original texts and classics.
- Presents various academic disciplines in a sequence corresponding to a pupil's developing ability to think abstractly, and in an age and developmentally appropriate manner.
- Studies not simply individual academic disciplines, but also specifically essential truths that transcend the disciplines- especially those truths emphasizing human dignity and worth.
- Develops a sense of Wonder and a love for learning
- Trains the mind in the tools of learning using the Trivium: 1. The Grammar Stage (Grades K-4) which focuses on presenting information, the broad acquisition of facts and laying the foundation of knowledge. 2. The Logic Stage (Grades 5-8) which focuses on organizing information gathered in the Grammar Stage, making connections and learning to evaluate evidence. 3. The Rhetoric Stage (Grades 9-12) which focuses on synthesizing and learning to express increasingly complex insights with eloquence and precision.
We work in the context of the Catholic Educational Tradition which:
- Creates a Catholic Academic Community Where Students Encounter Christ
- In a personal relationship of authentic love with Jesus
- In the Sacraments- especially in daily Mass
- In the study of Scripture
- In our interactions, service and love for each other
- In our encounters with academic subjects and the truths they reveal
