Since opening its doors in September of 1974, Colorado Catholic Academy is dedicated to the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Faith. The Academy has created an educational environment that nurtures and reinforces the Catholic Faith in the student’s thoughts and actions. The student is helped to realize what the true goal of life is and to work toward that goal: to know, love and serve God in this life and to be happy with Him forever in the next.
Colorado Catholic Academy is guided by certain fundamental assumptions:
First, that man is an animal endowed with a rational soul. He exists as a free individual in personal relation with God. He is a wounded creature called to the divine life of grace whose supreme perfection consists in love. Man is a person who rules himself through intelligence and will. He is more than a physical being. He is a living soul whose personhood is perfected as he unites himself evermore closely to his supernatural end - God. And, achieving this end, he shares in the great joy of heaven - the Beatific Vision.
Second, the aim of education is to guide the student in shaping himself as a human person armed with knowledge, virtue, strength of judgment and moral values, while, at the same time, imparting to him the true heritage of the civilization in which he lives. If this aim is effectively accomplished, then the student is more able to live a life of meaning, which includes the task of earning a living at a level of greater awareness, freedom and effectiveness. The successful accomplishment of this aim will result in the graduation of students able to compete successfully with, and to provide a living example for, those sharing a chosen profession.
Third, proper education fosters certain dispositions: an appreciation of and fundamental commitment to truth; an assimilation of the values of goodness and justice; a simplicity and openess to life; a respect for work; and a sense of willing cooperation with others.
Fourth, we live in a time when there are grave divisions within the Catholic Church. Colorado Catholic Academy is obedient to the Holy Father and implements the true norms of Vatican II. The Academy defends the Faith against the often subtle persons who would empty the Faith of its supernatural content.
Fifth, the philosophy of secular humanism, which currently holds the minds and hearts of many Catholics and non-Catholics alike, stands in contradiction to the Catholic Faith because it dethrones God as the measure of all things and puts man in His place. The Academy exists to teach students of the folly of such philosophies and other errors which militate against the true Faith of Jesus Christ.
The Academy prepares the school community to understand that, because our goal is God, we face opposition and contradiction; that we are called to sacrifice, heroism and ,eventually, if we persevere, to share in the final victory in Christ. We pray for the grace to respond properly to His call.
