The Holy See’s Teaching on Catholic Schools By Archbishop J. Michael Miller
Essential Marks of Catholic Schools Animated by Communion and Community
A third mark of catholicity is the emphasis on the school as a community– a community of persons and, even more to the point, “a genuine community of faith.” Such an emphasis proposes an alternative model for Catholic schools to that of an individualistic society. This communal dimension is rooted both in the social nature of the human person and in the reality of the Church as “the home and the school of communion.” That the Catholic school is an educational community “is one of th most enriching devel-opments for the contemporary school.” The Congrega-tion’s Religious Dimension of Education in a Catholic School sums up this new emphasis: The declaration Gravissimum Educationis notes an important advance in the way a Catholic school is thought of: the transition from the school as an intuition to the school as a community. This community dimension is, per-haps, one result of the new awareness of the Church’s na-ture as developed by the Council. In the Council texts, the community dimension is primarily a theological concept rather than a sociological category. The Holy See describes the school as a community in four areas: the teamwork among all those involved; the cooper-ation between educators and bishops; the interaction of students with teachers; and the school’s physical environ-ment.
