Why Catholic Education?
Catholic education has, at its core, Jesus Christ. It nurtures the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—in an environment rooted in the teachings of Christ and His Church. -
Catholic education academic excellence, moral integrity, and a commitment to service, preparing students to lead lives with a strong sense of faith and purpose. Grounded in community and tradition, it inspires lifelong learning and the pursuit of truth in all aspects of life.
Our academic rigor, emphasis on spiritual values, and commitment to extracurricular growth opportunities, combine to give children the knowledge, skills, and confidence to go farther. The result? Higher performance in the classroom and on recognized standardized tests and an exceptionally high rate of college admissions. More important, our students become well-rounded individuals who go on to lead successful personal and professional lives and who become active, caring members of the community.

Early Childhood Education
Early Education at a Catholic school provides a warm, nurturing environment for students to play, learn, and socialize.
Nursery (age 3) and Pre-K (age 4) are crucial stages in a child’s development. Catholic schools lay the foundation and guide these young learners to become successful, caring, and engaged community members.
Many of our schools' early childhood programs offer opportunities for students to first encounter the Catholic faith by attending school Masses, learning basic prayers, attending May crownings, praying the rosary, and more. But introducing young people to the faith, they first encounter the One who loves them unconditionally.

Elementary Education
Elementary Education at a Catholic school engages children at an important formative time in their lives.
They are learning academic subjects, but they are also learning about themselves, about their place and purpose in the world, and about their obligations to others.
Catholic schools offer Sacramental formation. Young students will go to confession for the first time, as well as receive formation in order to receive the Eucharist. Along with the daily and weekly faith life of the school, students have opportunities to grow in relationship with Christ and share His love with those they encounter.

Middle School Education
Middle School Education at a Catholic school engages young people as they approach some of the most pivotal, formative years.
Grades 6, 7, and 8 can be challenging but rewarding years for students. Through our schools, we encourage authentic growth: leadership, academics, faith, contributing to their parish, and exploring sports and extracurricular activities.All of our Catholic schools emphasize virtue formation, and the middle-school years are pivotal for that. Students benefit from the Church's moral teachings, as well as from the emphasis on the cardinal virtues. To grow in prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude is vital for young people to thrive today.
