Archdiocese of Philadelphia Secondary Schools

At the most basic level, we are a Catholic institution that believes in the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. And as an academic institution, we believe in developing students' scholastic abilities to their greatest potential.

And while these statements seem unrelated, we bring these ideals together for the educational benefit of every child. By fostering a Christ-like spirit of compassion, humility, and charity, we challenge students to listen, share, and work together. By upholding a rigorous academic standard, we give children the critical skills needed to understand Scripture, as well as the many diverse subjects they encounter throughout their studies.

With this direction in mind, we hope to guide children to become their generations’ leaders and role models. In so doing, they will set examples for how much students can achieve not just for themselves, but also for the world community of which we are all a part.
