Catholic education encompasses all aspects of a student's physical, spiritual, moral, and intellectual growth with a firm foundation in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Catholic Identity is not limited to religion classes, but is evident in all content areas. Preparing students to fulfill God's calling is our goal. At Norwalk Catholic/St. Paul High School, these principles define Catholic Identity:
- The foundation of our Catholic schools is rooted in Christ and His Church.
- Parents are the primary educators of their children. Working together, the family and the faith community create an atmosphere of trust, love, and partnership.
- Because we are made in the image and likeness of God, we respect the dignity of all life in its physical, emotional, and moral dimensions.
- Through active involvement in Christian service, all students assist in upholding the respect and dignity of every person and of God’s creations.
- We are called to transform ourselves and our communities through living and modeling our Gospel teachings and baptismal vows.
- School communities represent safe environments where everyone is treated with respect.
