Our Mission
Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus through a robust education rooted in the Catholic faith and Sacred Tradition and centered in the Eucharist.
We are unapologetically Catholic
We are academically excellent
Our Vision
Inspired by our patron, Saint Carlo Acutis, and recognizing that all are made in the image and likeness of God, Carlo Catholic forms the whole person, both spiritually and academically, through an education centered in the Eucharist, while building a community of fellowship. We cultivate in students, families, and staff a desire to grow in virtue and become saints, equipping them to make ethical choices guided by a profound understanding and respect for human dignity and life, so they engage with the world’s challenges with truth, compassion, and responsibility.
Our Philosophy

Building Community
Forming Disciples
- At Carlo Catholic, we steadfastly follow the fullness of Truth revealed in Jesus Christ, contained in Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and proclaimed through the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
- In our school, faith is both taught and lived. We intentionally serve others with charity.
- Through prayer and frequent access to the sacraments, we strive to form saints and lead students to Heaven, “the fulfillment of the deepest human longings” (CCC 1024).
- We form the whole person by nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, and moral growth of every student, family, and staff member, instilling in them a desire to embody Jesus’ teachings and grow in virtue.
- We help students discover God’s love for them, awakening them to their charisms and spiritual gifts from God, know they belong to Him, and, consequently, embrace lives of purpose and meaning.
- We are committed to guiding students in discerning and responding to God’s call to their vocation, acknowledging that each person has a unique path of service to Him and to neighbor.

St. Carlo Acutis - Leading by Example

For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
All people are born as originals, but many die as photocopies.
Building Community
- We foster collaboration and fellowship among students, parents, families, staff, and the broader community.
- We believe parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. With the Holy Family as our model, we emphasize the significance of the family in education and formation, and we believe homes should be places for education in virtue (CCC 2223).
- With a commitment to form the entire family, we illustrate how faith, family, and education intertwine, encouraging students to live their faith openly and to shape students that witness to the world.
- Inspired by Carlo, we cultivate a community with special devotion to the Eucharist, recognizing It is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” (Lumen Gentium 11)
- We attract people by a joy that radiates from our faith, instilling a sense of belonging, where students feel loved and supported. We work to evangelize the culture and instill a strong and vibrant Catholic identity in our community.
- Aligned with the Church’s teaching, we strive for all staff to be united in charity to one another and to students, “endowed with an apostolic spirit,” and “by their life as much as by their instruction bear witness to Christ.”
- We aspire to offer an education that is accessible to every family who seeks it and we recognize the invaluable contributions of the community that make that possible.
St. Carlo Acutis - Leading by Example
St. Carlo reminds us that even young people can inspire a culture of belonging and faith filled fellowship, cultivating a joyful and Eucharistic community where every person’s gifts are valued and shared in service to God and neighbor.
We, though many, are one body in Christ.
A life is truly beautiful only if we come to love God above all things, and our neighbor as ourselves.
