The document of Vatican II, Declaration of Christian Education, defines the school
as an instrument of social importance among all educational instruments. Most distinctive
about the document is the insistence upon the integration for Christian education
into the whole pattern of human life.
Palmer Catholic Academy recognizes the history of education in the Diocese of St.
Augustine and is committed to the following belief statements:
- We believe in providing a distinctive Christian environment that teaches catholic
values and traditions, promotes spiritual growth, and instills a lasting love for
God.
- We believe in creating an awareness of the church’s three fold missions of message,
community, and service.

- We believe in providing a learning environment which incorporates stimulating, new
teaching concepts within a structured and intimate classroom setting.
- We believe in instilling self-discipline and responsibility in each student.
