We, at Bridgeport
Catholic Academy, believe
that the purpose of education is to create a Christian community living the
values of the Gospel in which the children and teachers are stimulated to learn,
think, share, and develop individual skills. Our goal is that we become useful,
productive, and active members of an ever-changing society.
We believe that the role of the parent/guardian is to be the primary teacher
of Christian values, working with the teacher actively supporting and
encouraging
their children in the learning process. At Bridgeport Catholic Academy, We
believe the parents are an integral part of their child's educational
development.
We believe in fostering the teachings, values and traditions of the Catholic
faith and in living that faith. We believe
that opportunities for a variety of
religious experiences are necessary to nurture one's personal commitment to
God, neighbor and self, and to develop responsibilities to the Church and
community.
We believe that the role of
the
teacher is to encourage, guide and instruct the students in mastering the goals and objectives of the school curriculum using a variety of teaching
strategies and resources.
We believe the students are responsible for making choices and being actively
involved in the learning process to the best of their ability.
We
believe that each student of Bridgeport Catholic Academy is an individual whose his/her physical and intellectual
levels of development. At Bridgeport Catholic Academy, students learn best by
actively participating in activities through independent learning,
collaborative partnerships, and cooperative learning.
We believe that Bridgeport Catholic Academy's curriculum is a unified and
flexible guide of concepts, skills, values and activities which assist the
children to successfully reach their potential in that particular grade level.
We believe that the role of Bridgeport Catholic Academy is to provide the
children with a nurturing atmosphere, academic support, and stimulating
opportunities which assist them in their lifelong commitment to education.
