I am honored to send my children to SJCA. I’m the product of Catholic education, and for me sending them to SJCA is a priority.
Growing up in a Catholic school
environment kept me on a path for success academically, professionally, and personally despite the challenges of the times. It’s the least I can do to give my children the same foundation for success.
Our world is so much more dangerous, and has so many more temptations than it did then. SJCA provides the integrity my children need to become strong adults. The regular training in faith and character, routinely reinforced in our home, will echo throughout their lives and give them the moral compass they need to travel the straight tracks of life that we want them to stay on.
