Catholic Education

Education is essential to the future of our society, and therefore central to the mission of Saint Monica Institute. Together with our families, our public and private schools are responsible for imparting not just knowledge but the seeds of wisdom to our children, so that future generations will be able to carry forward in truth as we build the Kingdom of God on earth.

To support parents, teachers, administrators, and trustees in public, private, and home school environments we offer courses, retreats, workshops, discussion forums, and many other resources for formation, collaboration, and policy development, including both spiritual and doctrinal formation. Look here for current links to collaboration opportunities, courses, events, and resources.

Resources

We are gathering resources for those interested or involved in all aspects of education: home schooling, private schooling, and public schooling. Look for them soon. In the meantime, what are your needs? Share them with us so that we can help.

Annual Conference

Fall 2023

One of the Church's roles is to serve as a voice of moral authority, helping lead society along the path toward justice and equity. How do we properly use that voice, as Catholic educators, and as participants in civic life?

Have ideas? Please share them with us as we begin the process of organizing this conference. E-mail:
