Grounded in our 150-year heritage and influenced by the unique challenge of educating children for the 21st century, our Goals heed Cornelia Connelly's admonition to provide an education which "meets the wants of the age."
The following Goals have been developed collaboratively by Holy Child educators. They are principles by which we teach children and, in doing so, perpetuate our tradition.
Goal 1
To foster a faith commitment that engenders a joyous, personal response to God in the challenges of the world
Goal 2
To deepen an understanding of Christian community.
Goal 3
To provide an intellectually challenging and creative program of study that fosters academic excellence.
Goal 4
To work for Christian principles of justice, peace, and compassion in every facet of life.
Goal 5
To create a learning climate based on trust and reverence for the dignity and uniquenessof each person.
Goal 6
To further the integral human development of all who participate in the life of the school.
Goal 7
To plan for the development of Holy Child education in each school.
The trustees, administrators, faculty and staff commit themselves to educate by these principles and to lead our students to embrace these values for themselves. | |
