1. Top 5 Benefits of
Catholic School Learning
Steve Virgadamo

2. 1.
Around Them
• Students learning under a Catholic school
administration learn that God is always
present in the world and is involved in their
lives every day
• Students learn to see God’s presence in
everyday life whether they are hiking or
driving on the highway
• This sense of noticing God’s presence is
known as “Sacramental Awareness”
• By seeing signs of God’s presence, students
become more instruments of God and
therefore grace their surroundings from
their local communities to the world as a
whole

3. 2. The Value of Relationships
• Catholic school students learn that strong
bonds between one another are a gift from
God and are necessary to living a fruitful life
• Through developing relationships with
family, friends, teachers, coaches, and more,
students have the ability to learn countless
values and lessons from one another to carry
through the rest of their lives
• A strong and nurturing relationship with
others reflects the love God has for everyone
and the dynamic abilities of the Trinity
• We are there for others to learn, to grow, to
share in joyous occasions, and to unite under
challenges

4. 3. An Interesting View of
Scripture
• Students are given the ability to view
sacred and holy scripture through a
different lens as they learn more and more
about their faith
• They can explore questions and events that
have happened many many centuries ago
• Students will learn useful information
dating back to the genesis of Adam and
Eve all the way up to recent teachings of
Pope Francis
• They will also learn to apply Scripture to
their daily lives as to live better and more
fulfilled lifestyles

5. 4. Civic Engagement
• Catholic education bestows a certain
level of civic engagement and
responsibility
• Students and faculty of Catholic
Schools regularly take part in local
foundations, community services, and
host fundraisers to help the sick,
needy, homeless, and less fortunate
• Through volunteer efforts and
charitable activities students learn
more and build even more bonds with
one another and the world around
them

6. 5. Serving the Common Good
• Similar to civic engagement,
students under a Catholic
administration are strongly
encouraged to be involved in
public service all the way from the
very beginnings of their education
to their graduation and beyond
• Catholic students learn that they
have a responsibility to those
around them and it is their duty to
help where needed and provide
support to everyone
