Everest Academy's Mission and Philosophy
The mission of Everest Academy is to provide the highest quality education to our students and contribute to their integral (intellectual, human, spiritual and apostolic) formation as Catholic Christian leaders.
Everest students should be young people of integrity and character who command a knowledge of their faith, the humanities, and the sciences. Students should display a critical discernment and possess a disposition toward service.
Everest Academy seeks:
To Teach the mind by providing a superior academic education that develops the child's intellectual growth and emphasizes truth proclaimed as the foundation of knowledge and learning.
To Educate the heart to love Jesus Christ and to develop a sense of what is good, right, noble, just, and beautiful.
To Form the character of each student into an individual who puts truth and values into action.
Our mission is reflected in the motto: Semper Altius, “Always Higher.”
Integral Formation®: Developing the Whole Person
Intellectual
Intellectual Formation is the formation of the well-formed mind. A well-formed mind achieves the essential purpose of the mind: the discovery of what is true. Your child will be encouraged to exercise each facet of his intellect through analysis, synthesis, relation and expression. At Everest, we educate students to have the mind of a leader: one who not only discovers truth but can also communicate, convince and lead others to the truth.
Human
Human Formation focuses on forging integrity of character, which is the true foundation of joy. This is done through developing leadership skills, forming habits of virtue, and fostering personal responsibility and internalized discipline. Human formation is intended to make your child a man or woman of principle, a true leader, an asset for today and a necessity for the world of tomorrow.
Spiritual
Spiritual Formation will guide your child to recognize the work of God in his life and encourage a close and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This formation occurs in a spiritual environment that encourages the life of grace through daily prayer and practice of virtues, opportunities for sacraments, and theology classes that study the fullness of Catholic faith in all its richness.
Apostolic
Apostolic Formation is generosity of self to Christ. Apostolic formation at Everest brings Intellectual, Human and Spiritual formation into harmony by providing the opportunity to discern Christ’s call for your child’s life, embrace that call and to bring others to know Him as well.
