Leadership is a key skill that drives much of our workforce and world. It takes practice and discipline to become a great leader, starting with the right mentors and education. At Catholic Education Arizona, we believe in the power of quality, Catholic education for every child. Let’s outline three key ways that our local Arizona Catholic schools help raise the leaders of tomorrow.
Offering Unique and Advanced Opportunities
Every child has their own gifts, talents, and interests. Our CEA team firmly believes that students should all have an opportunity to pursue their dreams.
Mirroring this mindset, many of the Catholic schools we partner with offer advanced and specialized classes. From fine arts to computer science, students of all ages and backgrounds can hone their skills early in life.
Fostering a Culture of Collaboration
Leaders in the workplace need to know how to communicate effectively and equip teams to perform their very best. Catholic schools help students develop these skills through team projects, extracurricular activities, and a focus on critical thinking principles.
Group work encourages young minds to learn empathy, healthy communication skills, and inclusion. In Catholic schools, you’ll find students of all cultural, educational, and even religious backgrounds. In fact, 20% of students across our CEA schools are non-Catholic. They are still part of the whopping 99% of students at Catholic schools who graduate high school, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Helping Students Become Community Leaders
Leadership is a trait that doesn’t only apply to the job world. Catholic schools work to build strong community leaders by encouraging volunteer hours and out-of-school service projects.
These projects help bright minds see the impact they can truly have on the world, building a sense of belonging. Through serving and helping those in need, students develop the personal skills they need to thrive in our ever-changing culture.
