A Catholic school in Austria is the first in that country to offer a unique, classically-based approach to education for young students.
EWTN News In-Depth Correspondent Colm Flynn recently visited St. Thomas More School in Austria, where students and faculty members spoke about the values that run the culture at the school and the benefits that come from a classical approach to education.
One of the immediately noticeable things about the school is the sense of joy that seems to radiate from the students, which was reaffirmed by many of the students’ comments.
“I’ve had a great relationship between teachers and students,” said one student. “And I really like the community; I am proud to be here.”

Wonderful.
Cool. It took some time for me to adjust to my Catholic H.S. as I went to public school up to that point. However once I figured it out it was a great experience that I remember to this day. These kids a fortunate to have the opportunity I had.👍
Experienced it the opposite way. Went to Catholic school through 6th grade. On my first day in the 7th grade in public school... I was shocked by what I saw. Kids throwing things in class, saying terrible things to the teachers, it was chaos.
Jake and Elwood had a bit different experience.
And this is why the schools that produce teachers ain’t producing many these days.

Just one other thing that has been screwed up by having it run from the Federal level.
My daughter is not a teacher, but works in a school in an administrative position.
Oh the stories she tells!

A similar situation has developed in our schools due to a lack of discipline no longer being applied to the backside of students.

Even though I am not a Catholic anymore, I did get a good education in my Catholic school, grade 1 through 12.

You boys shouldn’t talk to the penguin like that.
