In similitudine Christi Totam personam recta instituere- "To educate the whole person in the likeness of Christ".
Grounded in the Teachings of Jesus Christ, Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Monrovia embody a privileged learning environment that is academically excellent for preparing students to grow in the love of God and neighbor, to lead lives of faith, peace, justice, gratitude, and respect for the environment and to become contributing members of society.
Offering quality Catholic Education, Catholic schools equip their students morally, socially, and intellectually for superior quality performances that will enable them to contribute their highest human potential to society.
The Education Secretariat of the Archdiocese of Monrovia plays a crucial role in guiding and managing Catholic education across Bomi, Gbarpolu, Grand Bassa, Grand Cape Mount, Margibi, Montserrado, and Rivercess Counties. We are committed to ensuring that all Catholic schools under our jurisdiction deliver high-quality education that aligns with the values and standards of Catholic teaching.
The Secretariat is responsible for administrating and supervising the educational programs and policies of the Archdiocese. This involves various activities, from developing curriculum guidelines to providing professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators. Our efforts are directed toward creating a holistic educational environment that fosters students' intellectual, physical, emotional, moral, and spiritual growth.
The Archdiocesan Education Council (AEC) is the highest decision-making body in our educational structure. It advises the Archbishop on all academic matters and plays a significant role in policy development and revision. The AEC ensures that our schools are consistently improving and adapting to meet the needs of students and the broader community.
The Catholic Education Secretariat (CES), led by the Education Secretary (ES), is responsible for implementing the policies set forth by the AEC. The CES oversees the daily operations of the school system, ensuring that all activities align with the Archdiocese's educational mission.
The Secretariat provides a wide range of resources and support for school personnel, students, and families. This includes:
