NCE is firmly convinced that: "The Catholic school must be able to speak for itself effectively and convincingly. It is not merely a question of adaptation, but of missionary thrust, the fundamental duty to evangelize, to go towards men and women wherever they are, so that they may receive the gift of salvation." 

(Congregation for Catholic Education The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millenium)

Thus, NCE heeds and strives to put into effect the exhoration of the Bishops of the world: "This same sacred synod, while professing its gratitude to priests, Religious men and women, and the laity who by their evangelical self-dedication are devoted to the noble work of education and of schools of every type and level, exhorts them to persevere generously in the work they have undertaken and, imbuing their students with the spirit of Christ, to strive to excel in pedagogy and the pursuit of knowledge in such a way that they not merely advance the internal renewal of the Church but preserve and enhance its beneficent influence upon today's world, especially the intellectual world." 

Spiritual Formation   

Our goal is to foster a deep and genuine love for Jesus Christ, Mary, the Church, the Pope and the salvation of souls.

Our pedagogy emphasizes…

• a personal relationship with Christ so that students may come to know, love and imitate Him
  
  
• a deep understanding of the Faith through a solid program of religious instruction
  
  
• living a life of grace and participation in the sacramental life of the Church
  
  
• the conscious pursuit of virtue
  
  
• prayer as an integral part of school life
  
  
• respect for students of all faiths
