DEFINITION OF A SCHOOL
“A school is a privileged place in which through a living encounter with a cultural inheritance, integral formation occurs.”
(Catholic Sch. No.26)
THE ROLE OF A CATHOLIC SCHOOL
“Christ is the foundation of the whole educational enterprise in a catholic school”. It is committed to the development of the whole man, since in Christ, the perfect Man, all human values find their fulfillment and unity. Herein lies, the specifically Catholic character of the school. Its duty to cultivate human values in their own legitimate right in accordance with its particular mission to serve all men, has its origin in the figure of Christ. He is the one who enables man, gives meaning to human life and is the model which the Catholic School offers to its pupils (No.34, 35).
