School Notes
- Queen of Peace Catholic School assists families in forming their children in the Catholic Faith through a rigorous Classical curriculum rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition and the liturgical life of the Church.
- We prepare our academic program with deference to the trivium: the entry-point of an integrated and Catholic liberal arts education. We teach the fundamentals - reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history, language, catechism, and science - and then we build on the fundamentals in later grades with a study of the deeper logic of each core subject. In middle school, we introduce classic literary texts. The study of great books gives rigor and clarity to a student`s engagement with the world around us and with the world of his or her own imagination, following on the paths and reflecting upon immortal characters that have been vetted and esteemed by generations.
- In addition, our school philosophy is in harmony with the Catholic Diocese of Duluth Mission Statement which reads: "Our Catholic Schools exist to advance religious education, formation and service ministries of the Catholic Church. We welcome children into loving Catholic faith communities where religious instruction and faith formation are integrated into our programs. We value each student as a special and cherished child of God."
