BISHOP O CONNELL H S

Arlington, VA, US • 500 - 999 Employees
Education/Training

Bishop Denis J. O'Connell High School, a Catholic coeducational community of students, faculty, administrators, and staff, supports and complements the family, the parish and the larger community as each seeks to educate young people while challenging them to live the Gospel of Christ. The O'Connell community respects and values each member as one created in the image and likeness of God. This educational community recognizes five dimensions of the person: spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical. To encourage spiritual development, the administration, faculty, and staff work to provide an atmosphere of true Christ-like compassion and concern in which students may experience the Gospel message. This atmosphere allows the students to recognize themselves as personally redeemed by Christ and to generate a response rooted in knowledge and love and manifested in service. Each faculty member provides quality academic instruction in order to inspire students with a love of learning and to give them knowledge and skill in specific disciplines. Each teacher presents to the students the opportunity to develop reason, to find truth, to express their thoughts clearly, and to be able to comprehend the development of ideas presented by others. The administration, faculty and staff strive to adapt this instruction to the intellectual needs of the individual students so that they may become more confident and therefore better prepared to face the challenges of society.
