MANY BENEFITS OF A CATHOLIC LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION:​
-
Today there are many schools to choose from with different specializations and emphases. The drawback of such specialty schools is that the exaggerated concentration on a particular area of study distracts or takes away precious time which at a pivotal point in human development should be dedicated to the general intellectual, emotional, and moral development of the student not as a specialist but as a human being. The results of an educational disproportion and imbalance produce graduates who are knowledgeable in their specialty but deficient in their general ability to think critically, to know themselves and to communicate with others in a deep and meaningful way.
ORATORY SCHOOLS AMONG THE BEST:​
-
The choice of the Pharr Oratory of St. Philip Neri School System (Oratory Academy and the Newman Institute of the Oratory) offers a time-honored and proven classical Catholic liberal arts education with campuses in Pharr, Texas, USA, and Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The most recognized higher educational institutions of the world were built upon the foundations of a classical liberal education curriculum: e.g., the famous universities in Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, Harvard and Yale are just a few of those eminently recognized liberal arts educational institutions
