Educational Philosophy of Cathedral Parish School

​

          Under the authority of the Bishop, our Catholic schools share a common Christian vision, resources and responsibilities as they serve the youth of our communities.  The vision is reflective of the diverse cultural, ethnic and economic populations they serve.

​

         The tenets and the tradition of the Catholic faith are an integral component of the philosophy and goals of Cathedral Parish School.  All facets of Catholic education contribute to the faith development of the students and reflect the commitment to teach and model Catholic principles founded in the love of Jesus Christ.

​

       The Church social teaching is a rich treasure we strive to pass along to our school community:

• Life and Dignity of the Human Person

• Call to Family, Community, and Participation

• Rights and Responsibilities

• Option for the Poor and Vulnerable

• The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers

• Solidarity

• Care for God’s Creation

     

We recognize the parent has the primary responsibility for the moral and religious development of their children.  We serve as partners with the parishes in the continuing education process.

​

     Cathedral Parish School is committed to provide:

• Certified or diocesan endorsed teachers in every subject area;

• Activities that allow students to experience prayer and liturgy;

• Quality educational opportunities for students of varied academic abilities;

• Financial aid programs to assist those families unable to assume full financial responsibilities for tuition;

• Opportunities for students to serve others and to recognize that society requires the cooperation and contribution of each of its members. 

​

  We are committed to placing Christ first in all we do.
