ENThe Catholic school is receiving more and more attention in the Church since the Second Vatican Council. To understand fully the specific mission of the Catholic school it is essential to keep in mind the basic concept of what a school is, that which does not reproduce the characteristic features of a school cannot be a Catholic school. Christ is the foundation of the whole educational enterprise in a Catholic school. His revelation gives new meaning to life and helps man to direct his thought, action and will according to the Gospel, making the beatitudes his norm of life. The Catholic school is commited thus to the development of the whole man, since in Christ all human values find their fulfilment and unity. Herein lies the specifically Catholic character of the school. Its duty to cultivate human values in their own legitimate right in accordance with its particular mission to serve all men has its origin in the figure of Christ. He is the One Who ennobles man, gives meaning to human life, and is the model which the Catholic school offers to its pupils. The task of Catholic school is fundamentally a synthesis of culture and faith, and a synthesis of faith and life. The first is reached by integrating all the different aspects of human knowledge through the subjects taught, in the light of the Gospel, the second in the growth of the virtues characteristic of the Christian. The nobility of the task to which teachers are called demands that, in imitation of gesture of their behaviour. This is what makes the difference between a school whose education is permeated by the Christian spirit and one in which religion is only regarded as an academic subject like any other. The Catholic school is aware of the importance of the Gospel teaching as transmitted through the Catholic Church.It is the fundamental element in the educative process as it helps the pupil towards his conscious choice of living a responsible and coherent way of life. The fundamental difference between religious and other forms of education is that its aim is not simply intellectual assent to religious truths but also a total commitment of one's whole being to the Person of Christ. The Catholic school must be alert at all times to developments in the fields of pedagogy and catechetics and should especially keep abreast of directives from competent ecclesiastical authorities.
