Prior to the coming of Christ, perhaps the best articulation of virtue was offered by Aristotle. He taught that the attainment of happiness consists in virtuous living and contemplation of truth.

The cultivation of virtue is the means to that end. </p> <p>Christianity recognized the natural goods discovered in the great thinkers of the ancient world and ...</p></p>

This week, I am delighted to share another student’s work published in the Star of Bethlehem. Peter Hogan has been working on his skill with calligraphy for a long time, and his subject matter is almost always faith based. This particular piece displays a passage from the Gospel of Luke 23:39-43. I hope others can appreciate this as much as I have. We might see some more work from Peter in the future. </p> <p>Mr. Ambrose Bean, Humanities Teacher</p> <p>The text reads:</p> <p><em>And one of the malefactors which were hang...</em></p></p></p>

We also want to see our students striving to demonstrate strong character, service, and leadership skills. We do not want them to possess mere skill; we want them to use their skills for the benefit of others and the community as a whole. </p> <p dir="ltr">This perspective...</p></p>

The liberal arts curriculum offered by Mount Royal Academy is classical in that it has been time tested over millennia. Rather than utility, this education seeks to impart a knowledge of and love for truth for its own sake. Having this focus allows one to attain the highest good - that which is good, true, and beautiful in its very self.
