Since God is the author of reason, and God by his very nature cannot be unreasonable, it is difficult to argue that faith in God is inconsistent with what is found to be true by way of rational human inquiry. At St. Michael Academy, faith and reason meet harmoniously in all our classes, including the sciences, as they did long ago when the first European schools and universities were formed under the auspices of the great Monasteries of Christendom. It is a very recent intellectual phenomenon, and one that is fraught with great controversy, to claim, for example, that modern science cannot coexist with Christianity. By integrating faith and reason into the heart of our curriculum, SMA strives to produce students who are filled with intellectual curiosity and Christian humility, a rare combination in an age where too many “experts” suffer from the sins of arrogance and pride.
