Learning about Catholic schools and Catholic Education (3)

The final document in our series on "Learning about Catholic schools and Catholic Education" is "The Religious Dimension of Education in a Catholic School." It was published in 1998.

The document begins by recognizing that not all students in Catholic schools are members of the Catholic Church or Christians. Our Catholic schools in Singapore have a similar profile. While it advocates that the religious freedom and the personal conscience of individual students and their families must be respected, it reminds us that a Catholic school cannot relinquish its own freedom to proclaim the Gospel and to offer a formation based on the values to be found in a Christian education.
