Kolbe Academy was founded in 1980 by three families who
experienced first-hand the rapid decline of the public school
system and the weakening of the parochial schools. The founders
anticipated the need to form young Catholic citizens who could
effectively defend their Faith through a thorough understanding of
doctrine and regular reception of the Sacraments. They also foresaw
the growing need for better, more individualized and intensive
instruction in basic education. With a focus on providing an
education that is Ignatian in Method, Classical in Content and
Loyal to the Magisterium in a small-class size environment or at
home, Kolbe Academy continues to thrive. At Kolbe Academy, our goal
is to develop the whole person mind, body and soul to form
effective agents for Christ in the world. To develop the mind to
its fullest potential, we use the Ignatian Method, which focuses on
training the memory, understanding and will with a goal of being
able to speak, write and act well. Especially in high school, we
utilize a classical, literature-based curriculum, which elevates
the mind and soul by studying the great works of Western
civilization. We stand by high educational standards by expecting
the best and always encouraging excellence there is no grade
inflation at Kolbe. Finally, we emphasize public speaking, as we
must be able to communicate effectively to win souls for
Christ.
