Holy Cross Philosophy of Education
The biblical summary for the developmental years in the life of
Christ is indeed brief, for all its brevity, that summary implies several significant components
for an effective philosophy of Christian education:
community
curriculum
climate
character
"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." We believe that an effective Christian school connects people, creating life-giving
community. An effective Christian school connects the
curriculum, creating a truly integrated, inter-disciplinary approach to learning. An effective Christian school connects classrooms with multiple resources, thereby enriching the learning
climate. Finally, an effective Christian school connects learning to life, building
character through discipleship.
