Reflections on Catholic Education

Eighth-grader Nicholas Grippi, Class of 2021, speaks about the importance of and value in attending a Catholic school. “A Catholic education is a one-of-a-kind learning experience because it focuses on more than just academics. Yes, I have received a rigorous curriculum of mathematics, history, English, science, Spanish and religious studies. But, I have also had an opportunity to expand my knowledge, explore my passions, and strengthen my sense of self and come to know God. Catholic schools like Rosarian Academy praise the benefits of creative expression through, visual arts, music, and theater. They also recognize recreational and competitive athletics which promote a healthier lifestyle through physical fitness. Spiritual and moral development are fostered through teamwork, hard work, and healthy competition.”
