About Us
We, the faculty, staff, and administration of Saint Benedict Academy are committed to the spiritual, intellectual, and social development of each child in a Christ centered environment that nurtures Christian values and fosters academic excellence. Aware of the dignity and uniqueness of all our students, we strive to cultivate their talents and to develop in them a sense of personal integrity and social responsibility.
Academic excellence, integrated with the message of the Gospel, is at the heart of our school. All we do is rooted in the values and traditions of the Catholic faith.
Goals and Objectives
“Parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. Their role as educators is so decisive that scarcely anything can compensate for their failure in it.”
–Familiaris Consortio
(The Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World)
Pope John Paul II, 1981
Our goals are to provide an understanding of Catholic truths and Christian values which enable the student to live a meaningful life consistent with the Gospel values of peace, justice, love, and freedom, as well as to develop the skills, creativity, and knowledge that will prepare students for life in the twenty-first century.
Our objectives for spiritual and moral development center on helping students understand the central role of religion in life. Though instruction and example, we encourage the development of a community of people who are bound together by a common faith and a common goal. Intellectual and cultural development objectives focus on developing knowledge and skills in core academic and enrichment subjects, as well as providing engaging opportunities for creativity, independence, and responsibility.
