Publisher's Synopsis
Catholic education is unlike any other learning experience. Why? Catholic Schools educate to develop the whole child. The educational process is an opportunity to cultivate the entire person by engaging the human need for physical, mental, social, and spiritual nourishment. It is the mission of Catholic Schools to do just that.
This book describes how a true Catholic education is both a program of liturgical catechesis and an inculturation that aims for the supernatural transformation of the person so that he can, in turn, transfigure the whole culture through the divine beauty of his daily activities. There is no human activity, no matter how mundane, that cannot be enhanced by this formation in beauty. Such enhanced activity then resonates in harmony with the common good and, through its beauty, draws all people to the Church--and ultimately to the worship of God in the Sacred Liturgy.
It will be of profound interest not only to artists, architects, and composers, but also to educators, who can apply its principles in-home and classroom for the formation and education of children and students of all ages and at all levels--family, homeschooling, high school, college, and university.
