Academic Philosophy

"The human spirit must be cultivated in such a way that there results a growth in its ability to wonder, to understand, to contemplate, to make personal judgments, and to develop a religious, moral and social sense." --Pope John Paul II

Lowell Catholic is a unique faith-centered community where students learn to integrate their thinking and believing in ways that encourage intellectual growth, nurture faith, and inspire action. To this end, the academic program at Lowell Catholic:

• Creates opportunities for students to reflect on the relationship between faith and reason in all disciplines
• Inspires action to be agents of change and to support the dignity of all
• Considers ethical implications
• Seeks truth and facilitates the formation of conscience through critical thinking

Our academic programs offer positive social formation and stress respect for authority, character formation, and discipline.  By combining the spiritual, academic, social, and physical dimensions, we strive to take a personal interest in our students and encourage them to "distinguish themselves."
