One aspect alone can make a contribution, but together the impact on the student and society can be amazing. The Catholic school, like the cross, reaches up from the individual to God, but also reaches out to the entire community. It's true that the cost of running a Catholic school is steadily increasing. In some places a great portion of that money comes from the parish. Because Catholic schools strive not only to provide the best, most caring teachers, but the Master Teacher Himself, the product is worth every cent.
Catholic schools are very cost effective.
How we wish it were true. The reality is that Catholic schools aren't perfect and don't claim to be. The reason is simple. Whenever you bring imperfect people together to serve as teachers to our imperfect children you will have problems. Even the best intentioned of people will not always agree.
