Portrait of Our Graduates

This portrait describes our aspirations for our graduates as they end their journey with us and launch into the world. It also helps focus us as a learning community toward the values we are collectively moving our children toward.

Our desire is that our graduates will see these attributes as increasingly joyful expressions of who they long to be as they grow into thriving adults. Our hope is that our graduates are growing toward this profile not only in our time with us but also throughout their whole lives.

We desire Saint Benedict Hall graduates will grow in our community toward becoming men and women whose identities are rooted in the kingship and grace of Jesus Christ. We aspire for our graduates to be given a solid foundation in the Holy Scriptures that has grown into a living relationship with the Triune God, a genuine love of the gospel, and a meaningful participation in their local church in which to live out their faith. As our graduates have experienced the fullness of their life in Christ, we desire for them to love what God loves by embodying:

  • A KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

  • A TENACITY FOR THE GOOD

  • A LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL

A KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

Our program nurtures our students into an integrated rhythm of worship, learning, and work that provides a framework for a biblical and sacramental worldview. Students are encouraged to think intelligently, ask good questions, and pursue a lifelong love of learning. Throughout our program, we introduce skills to equip our graduates to articulate the truth with wisdom and eloquence.

A TENACITY FOR THE GOOD

Healthy struggle produces maturity, and we see difficult situations as opportunities to grow patient resilience and grit to overcome challenges honorably in God’s strength. We desire our graduates to be hard workers, doers of good, and courageous to stand and live the Good Life.

A LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL

Beauty awakens wonder and calls us beyond ourselves– ultimately to God Himself. We introduce our students to the beautiful heritage found in Western civilization from the Greeks to the present day. Rooted in our host culture here in Hawaii, we also appreciate the rich abundance of beauty that surrounds us here locally in creation, art, music, and story. We desire our graduates to be curious and creatively engaged in Creation with a delight from enjoying the mystery of beautiful things.
