5 Benefits of Catholic Education

Sending your child to Catholic school means setting them up for success in academic achievement and forming their faith. These schools emphasize the importance of not just being a great student but of being a good person. Through rigorous academics and a strong sense of community, Catholic schools build children up to become the best possible versions of themselves. Learn about some of the core benefits of Catholic education. 

Foundation of Faith

Children who attend Catholic school pray in the classroom and attend Mass with their teachers. They learn about Catholic traditions at school, often participating in events inspired by Catholic feasts and holidays. Catholic schools encourage children to explore their faith on a daily basis. This creates a deeper understanding of their religion while giving them the resources to ask questions about their faith. 

Passionate Teachers

Teachers sign up to teach at Catholic schools knowing that the goal is to foster a passion for education as well as a love for God in every student. Catholic school teachers love what they do and find joy in building personal connections with students. With low student-to-teacher ratios, our teachers also have a unique opportunity to build relationships with their students. They support students on an academic level and in developing their faith through gospel-integrated lessons.

Values and Character Building

Alongside lessons about the Bible and traditions, Catholic school students learn about moral values at school. Compassion is part of the curriculum. Teachers inform children on how to be Christlike through gospel-inspired lessons. This helps them build a strong foundation and moral compass for the rest of their lives. 

Community Involvement

At Catholic schools, students become part of a built-in community of others who share similar beliefs and values. Everyone at the school attends weekly Mass and other events throughout the year. Students are also taught about the importance of helping those in need in their communities outside of school. Volunteering is encouraged and sometimes required at Catholic schools. At Brevard County Catholic Schools, for example, students are required to serve the community in a variety of ways throughout the school year and they gain a deeper understanding of the value of making a difference in the lives of others.

Affordable Private Education

Catholic school is typically more affordable than other private schools. This is partly due to the availability of scholarships and tuition assistance programs. These program, including a variety of state scholarships such as Step Up for Students, make a Catholic school education accessible for most families. Everyone deserves the opportunity for a great school experience, and Catholic schools offer just that.
