Program
Inspired by saint pope john paul ii, we take as our motto cultura vitae, the culture of life. We make it our mission to prepare our students to triumph over the materialism and despair that pervade our culture and to accept our lord's offer to have life and have it abundantly. Our classical curriculum combines a broad, liberal arts education with a strong emphasis on the development of christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty. Through our three pillars model, we form our students in intellect, character and spirituality.
