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.

• Foster community service

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.
