HOLY HOUSES
EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE
The Gilbertine Academy and the Holy House of Our Lady & St. John provides an integrated education supporting Catholic parents as the primary educators of their children. While not a parochial school, our programmes are based at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church where we equip students to grow and thrive in a world that is often hostile to our Catholic faith. Our young people are not merely educated in this Holy House — we assist in their spiritual, human, and academic formation. We believe that education is so much more than the transfer of knowledge and skills and so we engage the whole person, as a beloved child of God with a supernatural destiny, in the pursuit of truth, beauty and holiness.
Steeped in the British academic tradition, our curriculum revolves around a four-year history cycle where materials presented in one class are reinforced by materials presented in another. We never teach one subject at a time — lessons in history beg a discussion of geography, philosophy, and political analysis; the masterworks of Catholic art and music engage conversations about those very same things; and every class is a class in religion! We value a classical and interdisciplinary approach to education, emphasising the virtues, integrated knowledge and skills, and an academic excellence that give our young people the best opportunity to succeed in this life and in the next. Specifically, the Gilbertine Academy is structured around four pillars of Catholic Education: Sacred Worship, Sacred Wisdom, Sacred Music, and Sacred Art. Learn more by following the link below:​
