- Secure and disciplined learning environment
- Superior academic achievement of Catholic School Students
- Total education which includes growth in religious awareness and appreciation of morals and values.
Beyond their vital role in the Church’s mission of providing young people with a strong formation in the faith, studies consistently have shown that Catholic elementary schools outperform their public school counterparts in student academic achievement, even when all appropriate background variables have been taken into account. And, the longer a child attends a Catholic school, the greater the impact.
This is due to many factors, including a solid core curriculum, teacher dedication, classroom discipline, and demanding academic requirements. Also, the nurturing, values-based environment of Catholic schools enhances student self-respect, respect for others, future faith life and civic involvement.
Excellence in Academic Achievement
A Catholic education is a challenging education. High standards, strong motivation, effective discipline and an atmosphere of caring combine to foster excellence, and, a high quality of student performance is supported by the evidence.
