PHILOSOPHY OF CATHOLIC EDUCATION

Vatican II's Declaration on Christian Education states:

Since every man of whatever race, condition and age is endowed with the dignity of a person, he has inalienable right to an education corresponding to his proper destiny and suited to his native talents, his sex, his cultural background, and his ancestral heritage. At the same time, this education should pave the way to brotherly association with other people so that genuine unity and peace on earth may be promoted, for a true education aims at the formation of human person with respect to his ultimate goal, and simultaneously with respect to the good of those societies of which, as man, he is a member and whose responsibilities, as an adult, he will share.

DOMINICAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

Dominican Catholic School, cognizant of the temporal life and eternal destiny of every person, seeks to educate young children to work toward the achievement of their full potential in all areas of human development. Dominican School is conducted with the belief that God is the center of our lives that all students should strive to be a witness to Jesus Christ so that everyone will finally achieve man's primordial end - union with his creator. Dominican School acknowledges that parents are the first and foremost educators of their children and wholeheartedly values their support.
