We chose a catholic school for our children because we wanted them to have a structured environment that was grounded in faith and promoted more than just academics. We wanted a good education but also wanted our children to grow to be strong young men grounded in faith who were leaders. Our values at home are reinforced at school and we have watched our children grow in faith and share their faith with other through their time and talents.

Kristin's Choice:                         I chose Catholic school for my son because I wanted him  to grow up in a faith based environment, where teachers would nurture his spiritual, social, emotional, and educational growth.  Along the way, we have developed  wonderful relationships with educators and other families who share our beliefs. It is truly a gift to be surrounded and supported by people who live out their faith. Now, I am doubly blessed to have the opportunity to work in a Catholic school. Having the opportunity to attend Mass during the work day, and to begin and end my day by joining in prayer with co-workers, brings a new level of grace and fulfillment to my life.

I chose catholic school for my children because I feel the social atmosphere has less behavioral problems due to a more strict policy regiment. In turn I believe the children are able to focus more on their studies rather than the fights/drugs/bullies etc. I’m not saying that the catholic school is perfect it’s just that these problems are less tolerated so the children are less likely going to partake in those activities. The ones that do are removed from the school. Aside from that is of course the religious aspect of it. The prayer, and the values that religion enforces into the children is important to me. Of course I enforce those values at home but I like that it is enforced in the place that they spend most of their day, leaning and socially growing.

Catholic Education allows me the chance to shape and develop the whole child...academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually! I also value my co-workers since we share a common vocation and support one another in many ways.
I have always felt guided to be where I am.   A wonderful lady, who was a faith-filled model of being Catholic and was a wonderful educator, inspired and encouraged me to apply as an assistant at the Catholic school where she worked because there was an opening 26 years ago.  I got hired on the spot!  I then began my Master's degree in Education, became certified, and have taught at two different schools within the AOB.

I wanted my children to learn about faith, values, and morals during the school day.

My husband went to Catholic schools for his entire K-12 education. I am the product of public schools and didn’t become Catholic until we had been married for 10 years. When the opportunity arose for us to enroll our daughter in a brand new Catholic school, we jumped at the chance. A year later, I was given the opportunity to teach at the same school, and was able to enroll our older children as well. I love being able to share my faith with my students everyday and the sense of community and belonging that comes with teaching in a Catholic school. Our children grew in their faith as well, and even as adults, live their faith and serve others.

I love the tightly knit community Catholic schools provide. This consideration aside, one must recognize that the pedagogical mission is first and foremost a personal one of adding Light to the sum of Light. As such, Catholic schools provide an opportunity to foster this mission in a way that adopts the holistic treatment of each child, each soul at our charge.

Catholic education is so important to our family. Children need to learn, know, and experience the joy that comes from having a relationship with Jesus. Being with others who also value and share that relationship shapes who they are in a very unique way.

We choose Catholic Education for our children because we believe in the value of academics coupled with Catholic teaching. We love that our children have a warm nurturing environment that starts and finishes each day reminding them that they are in the holy presence of God. We love that our classes weave Catholic teaching and faith into the curriculum. We love that the school challenges the students to love one another and look for opportunities to be Christ-like. It is a community centered in faith and love.

When I went to my first job fair in college, I talked to many public school districts. Then I saw the booth for the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  I had been so nervous talking to the representatives at the other school systems, but a wave of calm came over me when I was at the AOB booth. I had a feeling that God wanted me there. Consequently, I did not apply for any other school system, and just completed my 20th year of teaching. I love that I can bring my kids to school with me and see them in the hallway every day. I even get to have them in class!

It felt like I was coming home when I began to teach here. I am a beneficiary of Catholic school and am proud to be on the faculty side now imparting not only knowledge but faith.

The benefits of Catholic education include being able to speak freely about God and having the opportunity to pray with the children daily. Also, uniforms. 🙂

Catholic schools feel like home! Everyone looks out for one another, all while living out their faith! At our school, you can be involved in everything while making life long friendships.

I always say that Catholic Schools chose me, but I stayed because I loved the warm environment, the faith-filled teachers, and the emphasis on community.
