Guiding Principles of Our Lady of Good Counsel
As a Catholic Elementary school in the Diocese of Trenton, we strive to ensure success for all students in the 21st-century global world based on the principles of Catholic doctrine and the living tradition of the Church. Our Lady of Good Counsel School promotes a Christ-centered environment that fosters the total formation of each child. The school, in concert with parents, prepares students to develop leadership skills to meet global challenges and to be of service to others.
Catholic formation is the hallmark of Catholic education. As such, the philosophy of OLGC is founded on the four principles of Gospel, Message, Community, and Service, as proclaimed by the pastoral message of the Bishops in the document, “To Teach as Jesus Did”. Based on these principles, the members of the administration, faculty, staff, clergy, and parents are committed to teaching the whole child with love, understanding, and compassion.
Our Lady of Good Counsel School’s administration, faculty, and staff are committed to academic excellence and to teaching tolerance and social justice principles to students and the school community. In order to evangelize Christ’s message and educate the students to become the hands and feet of Christ, an attitude of service permeates every aspect of school life.
Catholic education is Christian value-centered and teaches students by guiding them to share their God-given talents, treasure, and time with their neighbors in a spirit of friendliness while respecting the diversity within the community and promoting Gospel values.
In keeping with Vatican II, Our Lady of Good Counsel School aims to cultivate the mind, develop the capacity for right judgment and develop in our students a strong sense of relationship with Christ. We are committed to promoting a love of learning in order to prepare students as life-long learners and stewards of this world.
In these challenging times, our school calls together parents and all stakeholders to stand firm and work diligently to develop both the strong Catholic identity of the school and the excellence in academics that will prepare students to meet the challenges of the global world in the 21st Century.
