Saint Agnes School: Our recipe for success A brief history of the last decade… Leadership Mission & Vision Curriculum Faculty Standards Finances/Benefactors Outcomes/Achievements Local & National Recognition Consultation of other schools Among the work of many others, Fr. Ubel’s leadership was an important catalyst for the revitalization and success of Saint Agnes School. He was honored last week with the naming of our new Ubel Activity Center.

Saint Agnes School is a co-ed, K-12 school rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition and the sacramental life. From the educational philosophy and curriculum to the cultural and aesthetic environment, Saint Agnes is built upon a commitment to Christ and His Church. Our school seeks to instill in students a desire to know, love and serve God in this life and the next. We achieve this by uniting the pursuits of both faith and reason: providing a Catholic education grounded in a challenging, integrated liberal arts curriculum coupled with excellence in fine arts, service and athletic competition. Saint Agnes serves families throughout the Archdiocese and supports parents in their role as the primary educators of their children.

Our Curriculum Saint Agnes School offers a challenging, integrated liberal arts program that prepares students for college, life and beyond. The curriculum underlines the unity of faith and reason and seeks to form students into confident, intelligent and faithful young adults. Rooted in the tradition of Catholic education, the curriculum is broken down into the divisions of Grammar (K-6), Logic (7-9) and Rhetoric (10-12) focusing on religion/theology, literature, history, philosophy, mathematics, science, fine arts and foreign language study. The educational model emphasizes the Virtues, the Catholic intellectual tradition and their origins in the Greco-Roman world.
