Palma Educational Philosophy
Palma is a private college preparatory school, owned and operated by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, whose purpose is to educate boys in grades seven through twelve. Palma seeks to give a quality Catholic education to the young men of the area by offering them the opportunity to prepare themselves to enter institutions of higher learning. As an extension of the family, Palma promotes the educational mission of the Roman Catholic Church through the formation and harmonious development of the whole-person by challenging the young man to grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, and morally in light of Luke 2:52, "Jesus, for his part, progressed steadily in wisdom and age and grace before God and men." The Christian Brothers, along with their lay colleagues, endeavor to influence the young men placed in their care by parents; the faculty and staff undertake this effort with the same vision Brother Edmund Rice had when he began his out-reach to the poor in Ireland nearly two hundred years ago. Palma, as a Catholic school directed by the Christian Brothers, is missioned to evangelize and to catechize by fulfilling the four apostolic goals: spreading the Gospel message, building a faith community, celebrating the faith and performing service to those in need.
Palma High and Junior High School will challenge each young man to develop spiritually/morally, intellectually, physically and socially. The Palma Expected Schoolwide Learning Results are:
