“The Catholic School is a school for the person and of persons. In fact, it aims at forming the person in theintegral unity of his being, busing the tools of teaching and learning where ‘criteria of judgement,determing values, points of interest, lines of thought, sources of inspiration and models oflife are formed”
Educating Together in Catholic Schools (Congregation for Catholic Education 2008)
Education goes beyond academic ministry. The Lay Educator in a Catholic School can fulfill the purposes of education if he/she builds upon a values system built on God as the particular basing point, built on a personal friendship with Jesus, following Him and being like him, sharing and promoting his values and way of life. The Lay Educator focuses more on forming children into becoming leaders and effective agents for Christ in the world, thus developing the mind, body and soul to help the student learn to make wise choices in line with the will of God.
