School Notes
Inspired by Saint Pope John Paul II, we take as our
mottoCultura 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:We teach the classics of Western thought from physics to philosophy, and the interrelationship of the great ideas; teaching students not merely what to think but how to think.
- Character:We help students grow in the four cardinal virtues of prudence, temperance, fortitude and justice, which we believe are the foundation of leadership.
- Spirituality:Our students come to understand and embrace the truth of why they exist: to know God, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world and be happy with Him forever in the next.

I went to school here in 1958-1960. I was in the 2nd-4th grade. Great memories there. I was an Air Force Brat, so I left to go to Germany. I live in San Antonio, Texas now. Thank you for the memories!
