A school’s culture is the most important and formative force of education it provides. Just as culture originally referred to the soil that brings forth life, we, too, are cultivated as persons and communities through the cultures that ground us. The St. Jerome Institute is a school of song, of prayer, and of feasting. We delight in competition and play. We courageously take on rigorous studies, and are dedicated to fostering a community of love and friendship. As a Socratic, seminar-based school, our culture is characterized by dialogue and wonder. Most fundamentally, as a school fully infused with the Catholic faith, we understand that the ultimate purpose of our shared work is to lead us ever closer to Christ.
