"We aim at something better: we want to educate the children, to instruct them in their duty, to teach them to practice it, to give them a Christian spirit and attitudes and to form them to religious habits and the virtues possessed by a good Christian and a good citizen.” - Saint Marcellin Champagnat
Reflection on Catholic Education
There was a long period of prayer and discernment about becoming a Catholic educator when God finally made the answer clear to me: "You are where you need to be."
Teaching is one of the most important vocations in today's society and the weight of that responsibility will be seated in my classes as I embrace this new role. Training young minds how to think, (not what to think), using logic to develop critical thinking, and encouraging discovery through wonder are all part of the superior classical education that Mount Royal Academy provides. Yet, it is the constant orientation toward God which illuminates the pathway to knowledge here. What a blessing and an honor to be part of such a faithful Catholic school! I am truly humbled by the opportunity.
Mrs. Frost grew up in Connecticut and is the oldest of seven children. She has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Saint Joseph College, (now the University of Saint Joseph), in West Hartford, CT. Getting to know the students and families of Mount Royal Academy convinced her that it was time for a transition to a vocation of teaching. Mrs. Frost holds a place in her heart for the Dominican charism and praying the rosary. Saint Catherine of Siena is a special saint for her family, as a patroness of nurses and firefighters. She and her husband are members of Saint Patrick Parish in Newport.
