Mission and Values
Benedictine High School is a Roman Catholic college preparatory school operated by the Benedictine monks of Saint Andrew Abbey. We challenge our students to grow physically, intellectually, and especially spiritually in preparation for success in higher education and in life. In the Benedictine tradition of community life, we encourage our students to learn to grow in mutual respect of differences in background and culture.
Statement of Beliefs
- In pursuit of our mission, we believe that a Benedictine education encompasses the tradition of the Catholic Church and the principles conveyed in the Rule of Saint Benedict which are the beacons to which we look to order and direct our lives.
- We believe that every person is created in the image and likeness of God
and as such is worthy of the highest respect and di gnity.
- We believe that the Sacred Scriptures, the sacraments of the Church, and
personal and communal prayer are sources of true strength.
- We believe that work is a means for a person to develop God-given
talents in a curriculum with high expectations and standards.
- We believe that stability is achieved by helping a person to critically evaluate
the implications of living in a third millennium society by remaining
rooted in Jesus Christ and the Tradition of His Church.
- We believe family is a necessary component of God's plan for humanity and
so we seek to involve parents in our school life as we seek to complement
the home experience with support of the extended Benedictine family.
- We believe that continual conversion of life requires life-long learning that
challenges students to integrate faith and knowledge into everyday
life in service of one another in love.
