4 At Trasfiguratio Catholic Elemetary School our studets are idividuals, ad each oe is edowed with a myriad of talets. By developig each of those talets to its full potetial ad livig accordig to our faith ad social cosciece, the world ca be all that we have dreamed. Pricipal, Trasfiguratio Catholic Elemetary School It s good to kow they re ready We re all architects ot raisig brick ad mortar or steel beams ad glass, but raisig up sos ad daughters to move cofidetly i the world sometimes o groud smooth as sad, sometimes rocky ad sharp. Wheever studets joi a Cosortium school, they start a educatioal egagemet that prepares them with the skills to collaborate, commuicate, problem solve, ad stad up cofidetly for their poits of view. The cotiual presece of faith formatio i our Cosortium schools drives a spirit of missio a social cosciece to thik of others. We ispire our studets to lead lives of itegrity, committed to peace ad social justice ad equip them with the faith, kowledge, cofidece ad courage they will eed to serve as Christia leaders i their commuities, friedships, ad the world. Today, the Cosortium is a vibrat educatioal ad spiritual commuity dedicated to academic excellece ad faith formatio i the spirit of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, the Cosortium s patro. Each school puts faith ito actio by followig a call to be missioary disciples. Youg people who respod put their talets to use for others ad recogize that their gifts are ot solely for their ow gai. This is show i oe way by the studets service to others i eed throughout the school year. Our studets ad families participate i daily prayer, weekly Mass, ad Sacrametal preparatio. Studets ehace their preparatio for the world at every level of academic istructio. The use of techology starts i our early learig preschool classrooms with a itroductio to laptops ad educatioal activities. By the time your child is i third grade, she/he is usig techology for iquiry based uits, doig research for sciece ad social studies, ad publishig compositios. I the later part of their elemetary years studets develop strog thikig skills, stregthe readig ad writig skills, ad build coceptual uderstadig i math, all through bleded learig approaches. Ad, the, whe they get to Frassati Catholic Academy, whe high school is right aroud the corer, techology is itegrated withi every academic disciplie: sciece, math, laguage arts ad readig which all have ebooks ad olie resources. Throughout each day, studets use laptops as a istructioal tool. We believe the study of a secod laguage broades a child s rage of learig, mirrors real world experieces i a global society, ad helps them appreciate other cultures ad the richess of diversity. Spaish is a part of the Cosortium curriculum i Preschool age 4 through 8th grade. The goal is to develop the child s biligualism ample for higher level applicatio ito their high school years. Studets are ready for typical coversatioal usage, as well as becomig academically successful Spaish speakers.

6 The heart of our schools starts with family The Cosortium ivolves more tha our studets. Families will discover that our schools are a place for the whole family. We joi together i the spirit of faith, friedship ad a belief that a strog academic program best prepares our sos ad daughters for their highest potetial. Our parets geerously voluteer i various ways to support our missio of Catholic educatio from coachig ad chaperoig to sharig their professioal talets to helpig out with social ad istitutioal evets. We host spiritual evets ad retreats which provide a opportuity to step out of your everyday life ad deepe your relatioship with God ad others. Parets have may opportuities to have fu too, partakig i social evets ad miglig withi our broader Cosortium etwork. We exted a ivitatio for all parets to step ito their child s educatio, feelig acquaited with all aspects of the growig Cosortium commuity, ad i tur beefitig from the experiece. As family, we share a Spiritual Charter, which is valuable to the extet that pastors, faculty, studets, ad parets ask the importat questios of How do we apply these priciples to our lives? Ad how do we develop a disciplie that moves these spiritual ideals ito the heart ad soul of the Cosortium commuity ad every idividual? There are may virtues ad charisms i the life of Blessed Pier Giorgio that form the buildig blocks of a Cosortium spirituality. We have chose five of these key elemets to form our Spiritual Charter which we ited to be the foudatio of our spiritual program of the Catholic Cosortium of Lake Couty. These five priciples are ot the oly virtues that characterize Pier Giorgio s life, or are they iteded to defie the fulless of our Catholic idetity. They are the taproot of what we believe is a geuie Cosortium spirituality, a spiritual visio that our studets, faculty ad parets ca emulate.
