| MISSION
STATEMENT Wildwood Catholic High School, a four year, coeducational secondary school of the diocese of Camden and Saint Ann parish, offers Cape May County residents an opportunity for a values-centered education in the Catholic tradition. Students are prepared to continue their education and encouraged to be contributing members of society who will hold Christian attitudes and values. The education presented is for LIFE: life lived fully, productively, and eternally in love of God and service to humankind. PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION Holding that life in its fullest expression is experienced only in the spirit of Jesus Christ, Wildwood Catholic High School presents a college preparatory curriculum within a small christian community which encourages special and personal interaction among faculty, students, and parents. Guided by the Gospel and strengthened by the sacraments, we are able to challenge students to strive for personal excellence in all facets of life: academic, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual. Thus, students are not only enabled to live their present lives to the fullest, but are also equipped to continue their education and to assume vocation, career, and civic responsibilities. Wildwood Catholic's philosophy and tradition are firmly rooted in our motto: "Fides et Scientia" (Faith and Knowledge). We hope that each of our students will be steeped in this tradition, prepared for a productive future, and ultimately ready to share in the salvation of Jesus Christ who said: "I have come that they may have life, and have it in abundance!" (John 10:10) STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES Wildwood Catholic High School - administration, faculty, students and parents - embraces the Statement of Philosophy and accepts our common responsibility to attain the following objectives. * To provide a curriculum that is infused with Christian values so that all knowledge is related to God and His plan for all of creation. * To instill a respect for life by providing an environment which promotes spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional well being. *To encourage the discovery and development of students' individual gifts through active involvement in religious, academic, and co-curricular activities. * To provide students with the critical thinking and moral decision making skills necessary to be a positive force in today's rapidly changing world. *To recognize and address varied learning styles so that students develop an appreciation of and a desire for a lifelong education. *To enhance, through opportunity and example, the development of students' skills in effective communication and social interaction. *To provide opportunities to appreciate America's pluralistic heritage to exercise responsible citizenship through community service both in and out of school. *To create and maintain a school atmosphere in which students will learn to the best of their ability while developing a positive self-image. *To foster a global sense of awareness and accountability, through stewardship of resources, respect for other cultures and care for the environment. |
