Carmelites have a strong commitment to the education of children and young adults in various parts of the world in schools at primary and secondary level. In some places these are often called elementary, middle and high schools and they fit into the educational requirements of each country.
While all Catholic schools have a similar ethos, Carmelite schools are marked by their sharing of the values of the Carmelite tradition through attention to the spiritual life of students, attention to liturgy, devotion to Mary, knowledge of the Scriptures and a solid education in the area of social engagement in favour of peace and justice. Students are encouraged to become seekers of God: able to listen to the still small voice of God amidst the thunder of this age.
Carmelite schools tend to be marked by a family and welcoming atmosphere reflecting the Carmelite approach to community. In partnership with parents, Carmelite schools facilitate a holistic development (spiritual, academic, social, physical, aesthetic and emotional) of all students.
In short, Carmelite schools are centres of learning and communities of faith, founded on Jesus Christ.
