Mission and Philosophy

The universe is a place subject to a number of fundamental scientific principles. An understanding of these principles will better prepare our students to cope with a world in which rapid technological developments are taking place. As knowledge rapidly expands, it is most important for students to learn to make rational and moral decisions based upon scientific principles and their Catholic Christian values.

 

The skills and knowledge afforded students to make these types of decisions should reflect their appropriate level of intellectual and emotional growth. This curriculum is designed to stimulate curiosity and to develop ethically and morally responsible, scientifically literate citizens. This curriculum stresses the process of science as a way of learning and further emphasizing that scientific knowledge is always subject to change based on additional knowledge.
