Catholic Education
“Selecting a school for children is a major decision for parents. The faith foundation, values, attitudes, knowledge and skills acquired through a Catholic education impact young people for a lifetime. Our Catholic school in Bermuda is dedicated to providing children with the right foundation for the future, one centered on the development of spiritual and moral values.”
Catholicity
MSA is a Catholic school, the only one in Bermuda that provides world-class education through Catholic values. These values are instilled in everything we do, from Eucharistic celebrations to daily classroom prayer. We work to have our students live a faith-filled life and to treat each other according to the teachings of the Gospel.
Our school is part of the Catholic Diocese of Bermuda and serves as a very visible part of the work of the Catholic Church in our country. All students, Catholic and non-Catholic alike must respect and show courtesy for the work of the Diocese through the ministry of the School. This respect manifests itself in many ways including but not limited to:
- Full participation of all students in the prayer and the spiritual life of the school
- Respect and good behavior during school liturgies
- Respect for the Blessed Sacrament during liturgies with regards to Catholics receiving Holy Communion
- Full participation in Religion classes
- Participation in service opportunities to the Church, school and community whenever possible.
- Respect for all religions by teachers and fellow students and an encouragement for all students to practice their faith and religion so that all our students may grow to be spiritual adults
