Sanctity

We believe that each person is called to spiritual and moral growth which is the ultimate goal of all curriculum and programs. Through an understanding of the Gospel message and active participation in Liturgy and prayer, each student is encouraged to grow in relationship with God and neighbor.

Justice

We believe that each person is called to make the Gospel visible in the world. Through an assimilation of the Church’s social teachings and recognizing the dignity of each human being, each student is invited to work to build up the Kingdom of God.

Honor

We believe that each person is called to act with integrity. Through the teachings of Jesus Christ, each student is challenged to act with truth regardless of the consequences.

Scholarship

We believe that each person is called to continuously seek truth, information, and knowledge. Through a college prep program that encourages academic excellence and challenges students to think critically and creatively each student is motivated to take ownership for their own learning and seek solutions to life’s problems in the light of Christ’s teachings.
