About this item:
At a conference at Catholic University in the Fall of 2005, Archbishop J. Michael Miller, the man responsible for Catholic education around the world, distilled for his audience the Church's teachings on Catholic education. So well received were his remarks and so important that Solidarity Association, which sponsored the conference, asked Archbishop Miller to expand his themes into this small book.
Here, after a preliminary statistical look at the state of Catholic education in America, Archbishop Miller explains the Church's position on parental and governmental rights and obligations in education. Then he lists and explains the five marks of all good Catholic schools marks which serve as standards by which to judge a school's Catholic identity and as goals for schools that seek to educate their students as the Church wants them to be educated.
This book is essential reading for all Catholics concerned about Catholic education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
A very tiny book with good information.
5.0 out of 5 stars Rationale & Reasons for Catholic education
Excellent high level rationale as to why Catholic schools exist in 21st century. Some operational examples/contrasts between the "best" public schools, given their more limited raison d'etre and Catholic education as intended, would be helpful in illustrating the clear and distinct differences in these two systems, albeit political.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Summary
Brief, clear and concise, methodically summarizes with perfect clarity the essence of what a Catholic school should be. Saves you the need to wade through thick Vatican documents on education - Abp. Miller has done all busy Catholic educators a great service. Highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars A Gool Primer
The Holy See's Teaching on Catholic Schools is a good little primer although geared more for elementary schools than high schools
