As parents, you want the best for your children. It is

because you wish them success in all of life’s chal-

lenges that Catholic schools are the right choice.

Catholic schools provide an educational program

based on religious beliefs and values, enabling your

children to grow in their understanding of them-

selves, their relationship with God and their relation-

ship with others.

Catholic schools promote the education of young

people to their full potential; their teachers respect

and encourage real learning experiences. Your chil-

dren acquire knowledge and develop the skills nec-

essary for success in higher educational pursuits and

a wide range of careers.

Catholic schools offer a community environment in

which your children can discuss and live out the values

upon which their education is based. They are encour-

aged to contribute to society and to assume leader-

ship roles in shaping public attitudes and programs.

In Catholic schools, young people learn to question, to

establish confidence in their own good choices in life

and to experience the sense of accomplishment stem-

ming from individual achievement and responsibility.

Take this opportunity to learn about Catholic Schools

in Brooklyn and Queens. Whichever school you choose,

you can be assured that your child will receive a strong

academic education in an environment structured to

have a lasting value.

Catholic Schools:

• Build character

• Foster community service

• Encourage involvement

• Develop real-world skills

• Shape leaders

• Reward achievement

• Reinforce values

• Allow for spiritual growth

• Embrace differences

• Raise standards

• Empower each student

• Celebrate school spirit

Catholic schools admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made avail-

able to students at the school. They do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of their educational policies,

admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs and athletic and other school-administered programs.

To the extent required by Title IX, they do not discriminate against any applicant, employee or student because of sex.
