“…[i]ndeed, the school, faithful to its vocation, presents itself 'as a place for the integral education of the human person through a clear educational project that has its foundation in Christ,' aimed at creating a synthesis between faith, culture, and life. (p. 4) As the quotation indicates, integration is the core of the Catholic school's educational proposal (Galioto and Marini, 2021;Grace, 2002Grace, , 2016Schuttloffel, 1998). I think that (and it will be my attempt to demonstrate in this paper) this integration can be better understood from Christianity's fundamental integrating event: the Incarnation.…”

This article proposes the Incarnation as a theological principle that illuminates the educational task, especially for Christian-oriented schools. Initially, I develop keys to understanding the Incarnation as an integrating event that can help us understand education as a comprehensive phenomenon. Then, I explore implications: First, based on the symbolism of the Incarnation as act of weaving, I consider education as a set of processes that allows the emergence of the divine-human vocation; second, studying can be conceived as a tool for a comprehensive weaving of a person’s true self. I discuss the validity of the implications of this perspective.

“…For Catholic schools, mission integrity can be characterised as the realisation of their stated principles within the day-to-day experiences of the school. Grace (2016) argues that a Catholic school that is faithful to the values of Catholic education, as reflected in its customs, systems and routines, has 'mission integrity'.

Catholic schools. has articulated There are concerns that the curriculum of Catholic schools has been increasingly dominated by pressures to conform to a programme of education legitimised by an intrusive secular state and designated as a ‘national curriculum’. Accordingly, the curriculum of Catholic maintained schools is regulated within a standardised framework that is directed by government. Contentiously, it has been asserted that, as a result, the curriculum in Catholic schools in England has effectively been ‘de-Catholicised’. This claim has been contested. For example, it is maintained that the matter is more nuanced than this and the situation cannot be interpreted in such an unequivocal way. However, it might well be asked: what should a Catholic curriculum look like? In the face of this question, leaders in Catholic schools are encouraged to consider renewing and restoring a distinctive curriculum by permeating it systematically with the principles of Catholic social teaching. Ultimately, the writer argues, the curriculum of Catholic schools should provide students with an understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
