The Value of Liberal Arts: Reviving Catholic Education
2023-02-03 18:00 - 20:00 | Camerman Hall
Evening with Mr. Danny Flynn Principal of St. Jerome Academy in Hyattsville, Maryland and a mentor in the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education’s Aspiring School Leaders Program
Please join us as we host one of the great leaders in the revolution in Catholic Education. RSVP BELOW
Mr. Flynn is the principal of St. Jerome Academy in Hyattsville, Maryland. St. Jerome has served as the flagship for Catholic Parish Schools transitioning to a Liberal Arts curriculum and philosophy.

What Mr. Flynn says about his school:

“St. Jerome Academy educates children in the truest and fullest sense by giving them the necessary tools of learning and by fostering wonder and love for all that is genuinely true, good, and beautiful. We emphasize classical learning because we want our students to read well, speak well, and think well and ultimately because truth and beauty are good in themselves and desirable for their own sake. We seek to incorporate our students into the wisdom of two thousand years of Catholic thought, history, culture, and arts so that they might understand themselves and their world in the light of the truth and acquire the character to live happy and integrated lives in the service of God and others.”

Schedule:

6:00pm – Chili w/Cornbread Dinner and Presentation in Camerman Hall for adults. Children will have pizza in the parish center and games.
8:00pm – Conclude all together with Compline in the Church
