PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
(091 - January 28, 2003)
It is the goal of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board to assist each child to grow in the Image of Christ and to develop all of his/her potentialities to serve man and thereby serve God. Under this Philosophy of Education, the Board endorses the following aims:
1. That the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board supports the principle of Catholic education in its system from Junior Kindergarten to completion of a secondary school education for all students;
2. To provide the conditions for a Catholic learning environment;
3. To provide the necessities for educating children in its schools to the degree established by the Board, and supported by provincial revenues.
4. To enable children to develop their individual aptitudes and to acquire skills essential to living in a contemporary changing society, and to ensure their proper physical and mental health;
5. To encourage in children the desire to learn so as to understand better God's world;
6. To provide every pupil with the opportunity to reach his or her full potential.
7. To work and learn together as equals in a respectful, non-threatening environment is
the right of all and fundamental to our Catholic philosophy.
