Why I Want To Go To Catholic School

For my community service activity, I have chosen to participate in SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Club. It is an organization to empowering students to make better decisions in life. As a member, I will discourage the usage of bad habits by students in peaceful ways and promote programs. Something I will do is funding for people in need, make a poster for Breast Cancer and other programs, and advise students to make the right choices in life. By my participation, I will be able to promote a student to make the right decisions and staying positive in high school and in the future.

Community Involvement & Local Giving (Serving community with food donations, serving those in need, and taking care of those that protect the community)

Being a Roman Catholic is very importance to my daily life because this gives me support, comfort, and security whenever difficult situations occur. This belief helps me to cope with the trials I face by knowing that there is a supreme being up there that is in control of everything. That the God whom I know as my Father, my King, and my Savior loves me so much and will never forsake me whatever happens. Daily life gives us opportunities to grow with our spiritual

At most Catholic schools the children are required to wear uniforms. Some benefits of wearing uniforms are that they improve attendance, saves parents money buying clothes, reduces bullying and peer pressure, reduces fighting and sex offenses, and reduces the use of drugs in school. Every child that attends a Catholic school attends a religion class at least once a day and attends mass once or maybe even twice a week. When children go to a Catholic school they will experience a very diverse community, not only within the classroom but also within their faithful community. At Catholic schools the children will be able to receive the full education they need because the teachers can teach whatever they want because they do not have to follow the state regulation unlike a Public school. A 2009 comparison between public and Catholic school SAT scores show that public school students had an overall average of 496 points on the critical reading portion of the test while Catholic school students scored 533 points on the same portion. Catholic school students outscored their public school counterparts by an average of 23 points (Fox

Saint Margaret School has a great impact on my faith. Each Day, I feel that we are growing closer and closer to God. God is extremely important in my life because He keeps me strong. When I feel that everything is wrong in my life, I pray to Him. Praying to God is important because, “God surely listens, understands and knows the hopes and fears you keep in your heart. For when you trust in His love, miracles happen.~unknown” God is also important to me because He has given us His one and only Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. This shows how much He truly cares for us.

At my parish school, I am surrounded by people that share the same faith as me and help me grow in my faith. A benefit found at my school is that I am allowed to pray whenever I want and I have group prayer before class to be with God and receive the right direction for the day. At my school we pray together before school, before each class, and at the end of the school day. I have a class each day just for learning about my Catholic faith. Therefore my Catholic school is important to me because in my religion class I can ask my teacher any question about my faith. We attend Mass at least once a month at my school, we pray the rosary in school once a month, and we go to reconciliation every other month. I can participate in leading Catholic events in my school such as the rosary, morning prayer, readings at Mass, and stations of the cross. My parish school teaches us to act in the manner of true Christians such as believing Jesus died for us to go to heaven, being active in my church, praying every day, receiving religious training, and treating my neighbor as myself. Learning at school to help others, we raise money for great causes by having out of uniform days if we bring a dollar. Our fundraising has gone to local shelters and to a family that lost their home to a fire. Out of uniform day reminds me that wearing uniforms at my school, we look nice and no one judges

My parents have discovered a different religion since then, one even closer to God, and me not being religious drives a wedge between us. I believe that if I hadn’t gone to catholic school, there would be a possibility of me being religious, as I would have been taught a different mentality than Catholicism regarding religion.

I went to Catholic school because my great-grandmother influenced my mother to do so, arguing that the values that I would learn there would not compare to anything else. As a single mother, she took as many advices as possible on how to raise me, especially coming from the most important person for her. However, my mother has never considered herself a devout catholic, or religious person whatsoever, and although she enrolled me in Catholic school she tried to give me as much religious freedom as possible so that I could find my own spirituality when the right time merited it. I was raised with a hybrid of religious and liberal values, and while I consider to have a strong pillar of moral values based on what I learned in Catholic school,

Pope Francis once said, “An education in the fullness of humanity should be the defining feature of Catholic schools.” To me, this sentiment sums up why a Catholic education is so important for many reasons. I have attended many different types of schools: public, private, Catholic and homeschool as a result of my father’s career in the military. However, only my experiences at Catholic schools provide me with a truly well-rounded education because, at Catholic schools, I receive the opportunity to learn about the amazing gift of God’s love every day during school hours. I love studying Scripture and seeing ways in which God is present in our lives. It is such a special experience to be able to do that in a school environment where you can really learn the fundamentals of our faith, as well as experiencing many different aspects of our Catholic faith, from prayer to Mass as a part of

My personal opinion has been formed after quite a bit of thought on this subject. I had attended catholic school for all of my schooling through high school,

The reason why I choose Presbyterian College because it is a small campus that is in a small town. Not only that it is a small campus in a small town but it is close by to where I live. I went to a small high school, York Preparatory Academy, and I live in a small town of Chester, SC, so Presbyterian College was the perfect fit for me. Also, PC has small class sizes. Having small class sizes helps me be successful in the classroom and get to know my professors better. Another reason why I chose Presbyterian College is because it has a community feel to it. Everyone you meet at Presbyterian College has that kind spirt. Another reason why I choose this wonderful school is because of the wonderful factuality. The faculty at PC is very helpful,

Ever since I was little, I have felt that Catholic education has been the best fit for me. Catholic education is important to me because I am able to practice my faith and get an individualized education that will help prepare me for college and for real life. At school, praying and worshiping with my friends has always been natural to me, as we feel more like a family than just classmates. With a faith filled, family based education that teaches me not only academic lessons, but life lessons, I know I will be adequately prepared to give back, especially give back to the Giver of all life.

Catholic Schools are educational institutions that are devoted to teaching and developing young individuals under the faith and guidance of Jesus Christ (Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia, 2009). Central to the vision of Catholic schools is the belief that Jesus is in the heart of all young Catholic believers (CECWA, 2009). Therefore in order to fulfil the mission and proclaim the gospel students are required to learn about how to live out the life that God intended through the lessons of Jesus Christ (CECWA, 2009). This paper aims to outline unique features that distinguish Catholic education from that of other educational institutions through linking peer-reviewed sources to a school based analysis. The school that will be

I enjoy attending Lima Central Catholic for a wide range of reasons. The first reason is for the Catholic faith of LCC. It is the only school in the area allows me to practice my faith but also encourages it! Its faith filled atmosphere, is like none other, and was one of my biggest reasons for wanting to attend. The second reason is the education program. I truly believe that the education program at LCC is incomparable to the other schools. At the heart of this great program are the teachers, who have the amazing ability to truly get the kids engaged with what is being taught. They are to get the kids to actually learn and understand the material instead of just knowing it for the test. To me, that is incredible. The final reason is the

Having all the research agree adds a lot of strength to the argument that catholic schools have a more effective result on students. These facts are especially true when the results come first hand from students who have experienced both types of education.
