TV, music, Internet, social media, movies, etc…are saturating our youth with messages and a manner of thinking that is contrary to our faith. Entertainment on all fronts influences our children on what to wear, what is popular, what is trending, how to date, how to socialize, how to interact with peers, with adults; in general, how to live in ways that are not reflective of the teachings of our Lord.
At Faustina, we strive to teach our children purity, modesty, charity, love of neighbor, and how to form and maintain Christ-centered relationships. As parents, you are the primary educators, and today’s youth need to be reassured that it is not just “mom and dad”.
At Faustina, we believe that our academy is not only expected, but obligated to reinforce these values and traditions you model at home.
Most other schools serve thousands of children with academics. Due to these schools’ size and number enrolled, by necessity, their academics target the middle of the scale, i.e., the curriculum is merely maintained at grade level.
However, as an Independent school, we can provide a much more challenging and faith-centered curriculum; moreover, we are able to research and select our own text books with the goal of preparing the students for any school they might choose to attend after Faustina.
Furthermore, the curriculum is deliberately designed to challenge the mind to think critically, speak effectively, to write proficiently, and, most importantly, to learn – and live - their faith more fully so that they can achieve what we are all called to be - Imitators of Christ.
We are the only school to limit social media: NO Instagram, Snapchat and Tik Tok are allowed for enrolled students. We strongly encourage waiting until 9 th grade for phones. IT is essential that we form our students to understand their sole purpose of their existence: to attain eternal salvation.
Faith – Academics – Example = To know, love and serve with Faustina Academy
