The core purpose of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools (AOPS) is to equip saints for life in this world and the next. To fulfill this core purpose, our schools and those that serve within them believe in the amazing potential of every student, guiding them with compassion, encouraging their curiosity and providing them with the direction they need to find purpose in everything they pursue. Through this work, we strive to achieve our vision – responding to God’s call, we are the world’s premier center for the teaching mission of the Church.
