As a Catholic school serving the people of Western Maryland and the nearby communities of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, Bishop Walsh School expresses its philosophy in terms of the educational ministry of the Roman Catholic Church. It is enlivened by the gospel spirit of liberty and charity in which students, parents and teachers cooperate in order to create a community of believers dedicated to spreading the truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In addition to the pursuit of cultural goals and the total development of their personalities, the school endeavors to assist young persons in augmenting the growth of that new life received at Baptism. It strives to relate all human history to the news of salvation in such a way that the light of faith illumines the knowledge that students gain of the world, of life itself and of human nature. This is achieved through a quality education, stressing the intellectual, cultural and vocational formation of students of diverse abilities through a curriculum suited to individual needs.
