Mission and Aim of Catholic Education in The Archdiocese of New York

Since 1800, Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York have served an ethnically and economically diverse student population in urban and suburban settings. Students are provided with an explicit study of the Catholic faith and the New York State academic curriculum infused with Catholic belief and values.

The Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York serve students from Catholic families and students from families of other Christian communions and religions who respect Catholic tradition and desire a Catholic education for their children.

Students are educated to be disciples of Jesus Christ who will live their faith and provide intelligent, creative, and generous service to the human community.
