An extraordinary curriculum for the ordinary student...
The curriculum at St. Edmund Campion Academy is Classical in content, Ignatian in method, and Catholic in ethos.
Classical in ContentFads come and go, but the Classics survive and remain to inspire and educate those who study and absorb their lessons. At Campion we operate on the principle that the Classics are orthodoxy enfleshed. Campion Academy's unique Classical curriculum brings intellectual knowledge of the Catholic faith into the heart by introducing students to the great works of Christendom and the pre-Christian masterpieces that influenced and inspired Catholic Europe. Exposure to these works -- from Homer's Odyssey to St. Therese's Story of a Soul is intended to move the students to accomplish great deeds themselves.
Ignatian in MethodAn Ignatian education is dedicated to the development of the whole child who speaks, writes, and acts in the context of what St. Ignatius of Loyola called eloquentia perfecta -- perfect eloquence.
Catholic in EthosThe intellectual, physical and social education of the students at Campion is integrated with their religious and moral instruction. To that end, we seek to foster in the students a display of refinement in manners, speech and dress in accordance with Catholic ideals. Further, school life revolves around the Church and the liturgical year. As such, students have opportunity to attend Mass and participate in weekly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and First Friday devotions at neighboring St. Cecilia Church.
