The aim of this work is to formulate the principles of the Christian anthropology and thus ground the conception of a newly born Catholic School of St Joseph. The first part of the work deals with the analysis of five documents of the Church, where mission and meaning of a Catholic school has been discussed. It has been claimed by the Church that a Catholic school is a special place of missions and its activities correspond to arising challenges of every epoch. The analysis of the evolution of Catholic schools in Lithuania in the XX and XXI centuries is also provided. Catholic school is revealed as an exclusive educational phenomenon directing towards the whole and unified upbringing of a human being. The background of the birth of St Joseph's School is presented, emphasizing the aim of the family community to fulfil its duty to raise and educate their children and to lead a solid and undivided life of integrity. The school has been founded while having purpose to integrate the whole of educational process with Christian values, to educate a human being as a whole, stressing the value of a person, supporting culture of communication and cooperation and discovering the final unity in Jesus Christ. The second part of the work deals with the analysis of the principles of Christian anthropology, which enables one to see another human being with a unifying outlook and recognize him as a remarkable work of God, created after the image of God, unique and desired by God for his own sake. This outlook directs to a right relationship with a human being, always perceiving him as an ultimate purpose. Human, a free and intelligent being, capable of love and affection, has a vocation to take part in God's missions, proceed with work of creation, give life and rule the world as God's humble servant. Being one entity of spiritual soul and physical body, a human can perceive oneself as a person, while being relative he is capable to reveal himself and create dynamic and long–term relationship with both human beings and God. A man, who suffered consequences of the sin, eventually recognizes his own value, also the meaning and purpose of his existence as a human being, only in the presence of Christ. The third part of this work provides with the analysis of theoretical assumptions of founding the Catholic School of St Joseph, such as the legal basis of the Lithuanian Republic, also the strategy of education of Lithuania and the European Union. The pedagogical paradigm of St Ignatius has also been discussed. In the final part of the work the model of theoretical assumptions of the foundation of the school is provided. Also according to the principles of the Christian anthropology, the principles of the newly founded school are formulated, which form the base of the model of the conception of St Joseph's School and recommendations revealing the base and the purpose of an holistic person's education.
