St. Camillus Academy - Corbin at 709 Roy Kidd Avenue, Corbin, KY 40701 US - Philosophy of Education

The faculty and staff of St. Camillus Academy, with the cooperation of parents, strive to provide the best Christian atmosphere for students - of whatever race or creed, age or level of education - to grow spiritually, physically, emotionally and intellectually. While formal Catholic education is its unique role, the school realizes that it shares in the education of the whole person with the family and civic community. The school leads each student to realize his/her potential and then to develop it to the fullest by having a well-rounded, realistic and challenging curriculum. It is neither dedicated to nor limited by any single theory or method of teaching. While providing quality education in the academic area, Catholic education above all should impart to students a realization and a deepening of God's revelation in their lives, thus building within each student a positive self-image, enabling him/her to be a courageous witness to the Gospel. The world today and tomorrow needs young people of hope, who can take the technology that science has created and use it to enrich life, thus helping to establish God's kingdom and leaving the world a better place in which to live. At St. Camillus Academy we are dedicated to this pursuit. We believe in God's providence and the giftedness of each unique person. While offering excellent academic opportunities, we will continue to strive to enhance personal self-concept, present a positive environment for students, provide good modelling, and enable students to feel accepted and good about themselves.
