Our Philosophy

  • Human or moral formation is essential to authentically Catholic education. Holding fast to the theological principle that grace perfects nature, Catholic human formation begins with a sound understanding of human nature, which is made in the image of God and called to participate in his likeness through the life of supernatural grace. This education focuses on both the human virtues, such as prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, and humility; as well as the theological virtues faith, hope, and charity. These human virtues form the proper foundation for growing in holiness and Christian maturity. Human formation also plays the role of integrating the intellectual and spiritual pillars of formation through the formation of a mature and upright conscience by which students act in accord with the truth. Students are taught that an authentic exercise in human freedom is always ordered to what is truly good and achieved by obedience to Jesus Christ.
