Core Values

Joyfully Catholic: Schools employ teachers who embrace the faith, who are happy about being Catholic, who want to learn more about the faith, and have a desire to deepen their relationships with Christ. Curriculum and instruction reflects a Catholic worldview, grounded in moral theology and social justice teachings of the Church. Joyfully Catholic communities respect the human dignity of everyone, and embraces virtuous behavior.
Diligently Achieving: Schools guide students to develop their God-given talents by attending to the needs of each students’ spiritual growth, academic success, and emotional well-being. All schools faith formation, rigorous curriculum and instruction, and a virtue-based approach to students’ personal development.
Intentionally Self-Giving: Our service toward others is rooted in an individual, age-appropriate discernment process that asks students to reflect on their God-given talents. Reflecting on their work, students learn to hear God’s desires for them and others in fulfillment of the Gospel.
Prudently Managed: Schools are blessed by the financial gifts from benefactors, parishes, and fundraising. We utilize all finances to the glory of God by prudently budgeting, and incorporating strategic planning.
Forward Thinking: Schools continually use data, both historical and projected, to set a strategic vision and plan.
