- Critical Thinkers
  
  Integrate faith and reason.
  Learn everything and keep what is true, good, and beautiful.
  
  “A Catholic education is one that focuses on the whole person, forming children to be the future saints God is calling them to be! Catholic education not only teaches facts, but actually forms children’s intellects and their souls, equipping them to think critically, discern faithfully and pray fervently. Catholic school students are encouraged to be curious, ask questions and expand their knowledge of the world around them as God has created it. They are formed as whole persons, body, mind and spirit, to see the world differently. After all, we’re forming future saints!”
  ~Top Five Reasons to Consider a Catholic School, Denver Catholic
- Virtuous Leaders
  
  Honor each person's dignity and foster the individual potential of all.
  Cultivate habits which form lifelong virtues.
  
  “In a world full of distractions, confusing messages, and a lack of hope, it can be difficult for Catholic students to hear their particular calling. A truly Catholic education prioritizes the souls of students above all else. Through a faithful Catholic education, students can be set up for success to lead holy and truly fulfilling lives by embracing their calling from God.”
  ~The Cardinal Newman Society
- Living Saints
  
  Pursue all things for the glory of God
  Follow Christ to experience the fullness of life
  
  “Central to the Catholic school is its mission of holiness, of saint-making. Mindful of redemption in Christ, the Catholic school aims to form in its pupils those particular virtues that will enable them to live a new life in Christ and help them to play their part in serving society and the Church. It strives to develop virtue “by the integration of culture with faith and of faith with living.” The Congregation for Catholic Education has written that “the Catholic school tries to create within its walls a climate in which the pupil’s faith will gradually mature and enable him to assume the responsibility placed on him by Baptism.”
  ~Five Essential Marks of Catholic Schools, Archbishop J. Michael Miller
