Mission Statement
Corpus Christi Catholic School's mission is to empower each scholar academically, physically, and spiritually in a faith-filled community.
About This Cause
The uniqueness of Corpus Christi Catholic School is its dedication to a personal and positive approach to learning and discipline, in partnership with parents, the primary educators of their children. Grounded in the values of the Catholic faith, the multi-cultural school community, adults and children alike, are challenged daily to live with Gospel values. Our role as Catholic educators demands that we help children to develop fully, not only intellectually, but also spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. Physical education is an important component of the curriculum, and students progress through a planned program of sequential motor development. Healthy, active participation in athletics promotes sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership. Learning and practicing healthy habits of exercise and nutrition, which prevent life-threatening diseases in later life, is emphasized. A sound religious education program, coupled with many experiences in age-appropriate liturgies, empowers students to develop their spiritual lives and to integrate faith with life. As educators, our religious commitment must be deep and its translation relevant for children, as they experience God’s love through us. Moral values are deliberately integrated throughout the whole school day, so that religion is not only a subject taught, but also a reality lived. Our students learn that the church and the school together create the entity called Corpus Christi Parish. Our parish has identified Catholic education as one of its primary ministries. Intellectual development is grounded in a sound basic curriculum provided by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and delivered through multiple teaching strategies. Students actively participate in lessons, for research suggests that the best learning occurs if multiple senses are used. School is the child’s workplace, and the work is appropriately demanding. Meeting high academic standards develops each student’s self-esteem, not just as a fleeting “feel good” sensation, but as a lived experience of competence based on successful completion of challenging academic work. This success results in students who progress through the grades taking ever more responsibility for their own learning, culminating in eighth grade graduates from Corpus Christi Catholic School who are confident of their ability to successfully tackle high school.
