Welcome

Dear Coeur du Christ Family and Supporters, 

Christ has called each one of us by name to serve His children and the world in a courageous, holy and Little Way. What a pleasure it is to know each one of you and to be united in this joyful mission. Coeur du Christ Academy is blessed to have you as members, supporters and benefactors of this school, mission and community. 

Never forget that our calling is a simple one - to be saints. God made us for Himself. The Incarnation happened for you, for your children and grandchildren, for the world. May we always seek to answer that incredible act of love by growing and refining our own souls so that we might become fully united with Him in heaven, our primary mission. 

As parents, formators, benefactors and students, we have yet another simple but ever-challenging calling. That is, to hand down a tradition of faith-based education which seeks truth and a life of virtue, wonders at the relationship between faith and reason, and uses all of these gifts to know, love and serve God. Not only are we called to hand this down to Coeur du Christ Academy’s young men and women, we are called to inspire them to shine the light of Christ in our culture and in the world, for generations to come. May God bless you abundantly for your ‘Fiat’ as founding families and benefactors.

As an academy our goal is to create and foster an environment of learning that is 

• Catered- allowing students to go deeper into subjects and fostering a love of learning rather than an industrialized view of education,
• Reverent- reverencing each human person (the self, classmates, faculty, parents, and all we come in contact with) as ‘Imago Dei,’ a beloved creature with a unique role to play in the Creator’s Theodrama,
• Joyful- exuding the joy and humility of the saints with a stature of hope and confidence in God, regardless of the world’s circumstances, and
• Striving- embracing the high standards that come with a classical education, the Catholic faith and the call to be “In the world but not of it.” 

As our patron, Blessed Pier Giorgio penned, Verso l’Alto! [To the heights!], we desire for our students to reach for the heights of academia, athletics and whatever God calls them to in this life. May our labors bear a fruitful harvest, may God’s grace continue to light a path for our families and may Christ be at the heart of everything we do this 2022-2023 school year.

Christus in corde omnium,


Genavive Edman, President of the School
