MISSION & CORE VIRTUES
Abiding In The Truth With Joy
Our motto—Manens in veritate cum gaudio—or “abiding in the truth with joy,” sets the tone for everything we do at Cardinal Kung Academy. We unite faith and reason, form the mind and the heart, and joyfully call students to habits of excellence, integrity, and service that will last a lifetime.
MISSION AND VISION
The mission of Cardinal Kung Academy is to support parents in their role as their children's primary educators by providing a rigorous Catholic classical education at a reasonable cost.
The Cardinal Kung Academy graduate will prize truth and excellence. He or she will be well-prepared to succeed in post-secondary studies and, being able to articulate and defend the tenets of the Catholic Faith, will be ready to live an authentic life in Christ.
The future graduate will be a joyous ambassador of the Faith, bringing excellence and joy to their future field and vocation, as well as charity and service to those in need.

FAITH & SERVICE
Our Catholic faith is not a feature. It is the foundation, informing every subject and every decision.
“We don’t teach truth in the abstract; we teach it in the light of Christ. Every subject points toward something higher: a sense of wonder, a love of God, and a readiness to respond to His call. This is education for the head, heart, and soul.”
— Dr. Alexander Miller, Principal
