It is the responsibility of every adult... to make sure that children hear what we have learned from the lessons of life and to hear over and over that we love them and that they are not alone. (Marian Wright Edelman)
The role of parents in the education of their children cannot be overestimated. (Mexican American Legal Defense Fund)
No doubt that parents or adults have the solemn responsibility to educate the frail minds of children about life, living, God, and other important knowledge and virtues to prepare them on the harsh realities of life when they come of age. Parents, especially, has a mandate from above to see to it that their children are brought up with the knowledge and ways of Christianity.
“As a Catholic, of course, you take the position outlined in one of the first questions in the catechism – that your child was born to know, love and serve God in this world in order to be happy with Him forever in the next. You either believe this or you don’t. If you do, his schooling must help him achieve this goal.”
These truths and intents are very important in the education of children. I agree that
“an education that has no religious foundation cannot achieve the task of educating the youth successfully. It is destined to fail…The fact is that nearly everything which gives meaning to life is saturated with religious influences. One can hardly respect a system of education which would leave the student wholly ignorant of the religious basis of education.”
In view of these premises, education for your children at
St. Gabriel Catholic Academy is based upon. Other than complete and holistic curricula, their Teachers are dedicated into delivering
Catholic education at its best. They also employ the modern medium of multimedia in lessons presentation, hence children’s’ interest on learning is kept high resulting in better knowledge retention. Visit their

I remember a catchy phrase on the Jerry Maguire movie uttered by Renee Zelwager who plays Dorothy in that movie: I am not just raising a kid, I am raising a man. As I watch my son asleep, I kept asking myself was it worth it to leave a budding career in order to take care of him on a full-time basis? Then this phrase always hit me –I am not just raising a kid, I am raising a man. Indeed!
