Declaration of Powerful Learning

The educators and leaders of Jesus and Mary Academy are committed to fostering an environment of learning that empowers each learner to thrive and reach their full potential. We believe in the following principles:

  • The centrality of Jesus Christ in our lives: a Christ-centered life is the foundation of powerful learning as it establishes a divine framework for understanding truth and purpose. 

  • Active and Collaborative Learning: learners cannot just passively absorb information; they must actively participate and are encouraged to apply newly learned knowledge to previously learned knowledge and to real-world situations to deepen understanding and develop critical thinking skills. Teamwork and cooperation are encouraged among learners and educators to develop interpersonal skills, enhance understanding of diverse perspectives, and promote innovation.  

  • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: learners are encouraged to think critically, to ask questions, and to use their talents, available tools, and resources to creatively solve problems.

  • Continuous Improvement: educators are committed to ongoing professional development to meet the needs and challenges of our learners; learners are committed to understanding their strengths, weaknesses, and biases to strive continuously for self-improvement.

  • Intellectual, Spiritual, Emotional, and Social Development: education is not merely academic, it is meant to nurture the entire person in mind, body, and spirit.  Emotional intelligence and social skills and an active spiritual life are as important to the development of the whole person as mastery of reading, writing, and arithmetic.   

  • Innovation: educators are committed to making changes when necessary and to looking at new doing “old” things in new ways. Innovation does not mean “invention” but rather being open to new approaches, learning from others, identifying problems, and experimenting. 

  • Accountability: educators and learners alike are encouraged to set personal goals for growth each year, each quarter, each month and to reflect on success and failure of achieving these goals to track progress and to foster improvement and accountability.
