MEANINGFUL AND BALANCED LIVES
Helping our students create meaningful and balanced lives is a key part of our mission statement. It’s something we strive for every day here at the Priory.
But what does a meaningful and balanced life mean? For the Benedictines 1500 years ago, it meant a perfect balance of work, prayer, and rest. Today, it means creating an environment where students work hard but
in a healthy manner. It means challenging students with meaningful work that leads to mastery and understanding, not overloading them with
busy work. It means teaching kids life lessons outside the classroom — on the stage, in the gym, in the robotics lab, and more. It means exposing students to diverse perspectives and developing empathy for others, and it means starting our students on a journey to find the things that will give them a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their lives.
