Catholic schools teach beauty, goodness, and truth on a daily basis. To students, their parents, teachers, and the community at large. What do we mean when we say "beauty, goodness, and truth?" See below:
- Beauty: This refers to the appreciation and pursuit of beauty in all its forms—art, music, literature, nature, and the human person. In Catholic thought, beauty reflects the glory of God and can lead individuals to a deeper understanding of their faith and the world around them.
- Goodness: Goodness encompasses moral virtue, ethical behavior, and the pursuit of justice. Catholic schools aim to cultivate a strong sense of morality and character in their students, encouraging them to live lives of integrity, compassion, and service to others.
- Truth: Truth is understood as both revealed truth, as found in Scripture and tradition, and natural truth, as discovered through reason and inquiry. Catholic education seeks to impart knowledge and wisdom while guiding students in the search for truth in all aspects of life—spiritual, intellectual, and moral.
Together, these three values form the foundation of a Catholic education, guiding students in their personal and intellectual development while fostering a deep sense of faith, morality, and responsibility to others.
