OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

What is Catholic Liberal Education?

Students will be provided a scholarly education where they
will be fully immersed in our Catholic faith.

Catholic Liberal Education
emphasizes forming human beings with
the wisdom to know the truth as well as
the virtue to ​understand how to live by this truth.

​Lessons will no longer be test driven.
Instead, students will experience teacher directed instruction
​that strives for mastery of the content.

Why Catholic Liberal Education?

With a track record if 2,500 years, Catholic liberal education
keeps Christ at the center of all things 
and has proven to be the gold-standard of education.

​Teaching core subjects with the goal of building
our students' foundation of knowledge while inspiring 
a lifelong love of learning, enables students to explore 
​​the meaning and purpose ​of all created things.
