SUMMER 08 READING LISTS

Bishop Noll Institute strives to become a center of academic excellence, where students pursue the full measure of their God-given intellectual development within a challenging—yet caring—environment.

As a vibrant, 21st-Century institution, Bishop Noll seeks to prepare its young men and women for their roles and responsibilities as Christian adults in our global world. Our focus reaches beyond information collection or job preparation; we strive to enlighten students about their full potential for action in the world—action that embodies the spirit and presence of Jesus Christ. This goal of action, based on sound understanding and enlivened by contemplation, urges students to self-discipline and initiative, to integrity and accuracy.
