Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, St. Patrick's Academy is thrilled to partner with the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education (ICLE) for a transformative three-year renewal.
This transition deepens our Catholic identity, moving beyond mere job training to foster a lifelong pursuit of Truth, wisdom, and virtue. Schools embracing this model are seeing a heartening renaissance of academic excellence and faithful engagement.
Founded in 1999, ICLE helps Catholic schools reclaim the Church's 2,500-year-old classical tradition.
By replacing industrialized, secular educational methods with an approach that forms the whole person, schools nationwide are experiencing revived enrollment, deepened faith, and a renewed joy in learning. We aim to treat students not merely as future producers, but as creatures made in the image and likeness of God.
Our faculty will be fully supported through workshops, retreats, and ongoing consulting over a three-year journey:
We invite parents to explore the profound beauty of Catholic Liberal Education. We highly recommend reading The Catholic School Playbook(copies are available at the West Campus—please reach out to Mr. Diekhans to borrow one!).
