Academic Philosophy
Academic life at Holy Ghost Prep articulates the pastoral message on Catholic education.
"To Teach as Jesus Did" is a message which fulfills the dignity of the person and the building of community, a message which equates our community with service.
Therefore, Holy Ghost Prep students are exposed to a rigorous liberal arts and sciences core curriculum which teaches critical-thinking skills, enabling students to critique moral issues through the Gospel message, fellowship in the life of the Holy Spirit, and service to the human community.
As a college preparatory school, Holy Ghost Prep is committed to preparing students for the rigors of a competitive and demanding collegiate career.
In keeping with our mission statement, Holy Ghost Prep sets the following expectations on our students.
