  • Giving witness to Christ the Unique Teacher, in both their lives and teaching. Blessed Louis Brisson writes: “What greater thing in all the world…than to fashion souls. What is greater than to mold the morals of the young? More than any painter, more in genius than the greatest sculptor, is he whose art is to shape consciousness for good and form character who he can recreate in a student the image and likeness of God.”
  • Providing an environment which enables students to grow in their faith
  • Encouraging each student to attain true self-knowledge and a valid sense of self-worth as one created by God in his image
  • Providing a college preparatory environment that challenges and inspires each student to achieve individual excellence

Our vision is to inspire each and every student to grow in their Catholic faith through the love of God and one another.
