Religion Department
The mission of the religion department is to invite students to deepen their awareness of God's presence in their lives, to appreciate the rich history of the Catholic Church, to make informed choices guided by the teaching tradition of the Church and to worship intelligently in the school community and their parish communities. To achieve this end a series of courses covering the teachings of the Catholic Church, Catholic morality, the Scriptures, the history of the Catholic Church, peace and justice, medical ethics, world religions, and Christian life are presented to the students. Each student enrolls in a religion course every semester.
In keeping with the Mission Statement of the John Carroll School the virtue of justice and the attitude of service are cultivated in every course offering. Mindful of the outstanding educational legacy of Archbishop John Carroll students are encouraged and challenged to learn for life.
At John Carroll School students of all faiths participate in the religion department course offerings. Experience has demonstrated that the presence of diverse experiences enriches the learning of all.
