Oratory Athenaeum for University Preparation Rev. Mario Alberto Avilés, C.O. G. Yvonne Pérez
|
| In answer to those many parents who want their children to continue the unique Catholic education provided by the Academy, the Oratorian family created the Oratory Athenaeum for University Preparation for grades nine through twelve. The Athenaeum was a temple of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, where poets read their work. The Romans took the word and while preserving the depth of its religious sense, gave it a new meaning: a place where students could find the best of the arts and sciences. Because Catholics believe that God is the sole source of all truth and beauty, the word “athenaeum” appropriately reflects the educational tone that the Oratory strives for in the growth and development of the adolescent mind. | |
