St. Marcellin dared to believe the best way to achieve this integrated education process was to share his knowledge and his life with students. He believed a shared life is more formative than classroom instruction alone. Thus, active participation in the lives and families of young people is an integral part of Marist education. Academic, cultural, and athletic activities, along with faith development, Sacramental participation, and community service enable teachers to create the environment and personal relationships needed to help students achieve their complete education. The Marist spirit is based on the models Jesus and Mary provided for us.
Marist teaching focuses on student potential and promotes the importance of concern for the family.
How students are treated, how they interact, and how they gain a sense of responsibility to one another are an integral part of the Marist character and spirit. Marist students are highly successful and appreciate the time, attention and care they are given in our schools. At Marist schools we promote basic respect for, and belief in, the profound personal worth of the students. We follow Mary's example and use nurturing care as our model for how we care for and respect each other in the Marist learning environment. Marist Inspiration Marist education offers students a positive, affirmative understanding that we are a graced humanity.
