About SCDSB |
| Our Mission Catholic education is a process through which the community of the school, the home and the Church develops within its students a way of living which embodies the life of Jesus Christ. Catholic schools are mandated by this community to carry out the following mission:
TO PROVIDE
a quality education which
integrates faith with culture so that every aspect of
the curriculum is
taught in light of the Gospel and the Gospel is expressed in terms of the life witness of
all those associated
with Catholic Education.
TO CREATE
a faith community which
recognizes the interdependence of the members of the
Catholic educational
community - students, parents, priests, teachers, trustees and administrators - in the
transmission of the
beliefs and values of the community.
TO REINFORCE
and uphold the rights of
parents, their beliefs and values, with regard to the
education of their
children. Co-operation of the home, the school and the Church is essential in imparting
Christian attitudes.
TO DEVELOP
the spiritual, moral,
intellectual and physical talents of each student in an
atmosphere of faith;
to educate a student for life, not merely to impart information and skills. Individual
talents, skills
and abilities are cultivated in such a manner as to instill a sense of personal
responsibility to the Creator
and to society.
