Through these experiences, students are encouraged to deepen their faith and live as compassionate, virtuous disciples.
Catholic Diocese of Richmond Office of Catholic Schools Core Values and Beliefs
The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Richmond, rooted in the richness of the Catholic tradition and addressing the challenge of the present, are enthusiastically creating a future based on the person and teaching of Jesus Christ. Catholic schools proclaim their identity as formative communities where prayer, worship, justice, peace, reconciliation, and evangelization become lived experiences. Catholic schools know themselves as integral to the church’s mission and as the entire church’s responsibility. Catholic schools are positioned as the heart of the church’s life, and, as such, share in the responsibility of being church in the world. Catholic schools nurture personal growth, scholarship, life-long learning, service, and responsible stewardship through a faith-centered way of life. Catholic schools are committed, as responsible stewards, to collaborative planning to remain the educational choice for the future.
