COURIER L 28 IFE, AUG. 23-29, 2019
Through partnerships with the
Catholic Colleges and Universities,
we have been able to provide programs
in math and English Language
Arts. These partnerships allow us to
provide students and teacher with the
latest educational programs.
The goal of academic excellence
is to ensure that all students are provided
with a well- rounded academic
program that allows them to develop
their critical thinking skills and to
apply what they have learned to reallife
situations. Our dedicated teachers
make this happen each and every
day. As we begin this new academic
year, we pause to show our true appreciation
of everything that our teachers
within the academies and parish
schools do for the students entrusted
to them.
This appreciation is extended to
our administrators who work tirelessly
in a striving to provide each
student with a quality Catholic education.
Partners in Catholic
Education
In the Academy governance model,
we have true partners in the Board of
Directors. As volunteers, they work
tirelessly to support the efforts of the
principal. The Board of Directors provide
their time, talent and expertise
to enhance the Mission of Catholic
education. Their many contributions
in development, fi nances, marketing
and recruitment are essential to the
success of the academy governance
model. As partners, the Board of Directors
support the pastor as spiritual
moderator of the academy and the
principal as the chief catechist and
instructional leader.
Our Catholic academies and parish
school are supported by the efforts
of our parents who sacrifi ce each
day for their children to be provided
them with a quality Catholic education.
This is never easy but parents
continue to make Catholic education
a priority for their children.
Final Thoughts
Catholic education within the Diocese
of Brooklyn is focused on providing
each student with a quality Catholic
education. By everyone working
together, the students will be provided
with the necessary skills to be
successful in the future.
Catholic education is a true “team”
effort and when everyone communicates,
cooperates and concentrates on
the needs of the students, we will be
successful in forming the whole child:
spiritually, emotionally, educationally
and physically.
As we prepare for this new academic
year, let us all work together
for the students enrolled in academies
and parish schools. They are our future
and they need all of our support,
encouragement and attention.
“Catholic education allows us to
celebrate the opportunities which enable
each of us all, not to lose hope of
a better world with greater possibilities.
Catholic education allows us to
dream and to move ahead in our lives.
Everyone has a role in attaining those
dreams and we all must work together
to ensure that dreams are met.”

SAINT SAVIOUR
HIGH SCHOOL:
A Day in the Life
As you enter 588 6th Street, Park Slope, Brooklyn, our assistant principal greets you. At your locker, you chat with friends while
organizing for morning classes. If it is your birthday, your locker will be decorated in your favorite colors. Before homeroom, some
students will be working in our Greenhouse classroom on her science research project. Down in the Art Room students are busily
working on projects class- and club-related. On the third floor, the Gospel Choir or instrumental ensemble might be practicing for a
liturgy or concert. In guidance, seniors are sharing college acceptances and scholarship awards. All this activity and the day hasn’t
even officially begun.
And what a day it will be, with English classes where you explore the nuances of poetry; with math and science classes that teach you
about the universe as manifest in the laws of physics; with history classes that will open a door to the past as a way to understanding the
present; religion classes discovering Faith in the Media or with foreign language classes where you discover your love of language. In
between, there will, of course, be breaks: for lunch, where you can share stories and jokes over a plate of Marco’s delicious cheese
fries; for P.E., where you can blow off steam in an intense game of volleyball; for study halls, where you can return to the greenhouse
room or library to complete an article for the newspaper or research Ireland or Australia, our next international destinations.
2:36 pm: “Have a good afternoon, you are now dismissed . . .”, but the day is not done, as a myriad of extracurricular activities awaits
play practice, community service projects, extra help sessions, team practices, play-off games.
But don’t take my word for it: find out for yourself. Join us at our Fall Open Houses on Sunday, Sept. 29 or Wednesday, Oct.30! Visit
stsaviour.org. Follow, like and share Saint Saviour on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
