Rediscover Catholic Schools

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” ~ Romans 12:2

Catholic schools welcome families of all faiths! We welcome families not because they are Catholic, but because we are! Catholic schools also:

open the mind, transform the heart, and ignite the soul to bring students to Jesus Christ
teach students that all are created, loved, and made in God’s image and likeness (Gen 1:26)
foster a culture of curiosity for truth, beauty, goodness and awe found everywhere in God’s creation
kindle joy and hope while fostering virtues that extend beyond this life into eternity
help students discover their God-given gifts and talents and how to use them in service to others
have teachers who bring an unmatched commitment and passion to their work and strive to be witnesses of Christ for their students

Recent media reports that there is a renewed enthusiasm for the Catholic charism found within Catholic schools and throughout the country. National trends are showing that:

Surveys show that many families are dissatisfied with public education because of concepts that do not align with their family’s values.ⁱ
There is a resurgence of young Catholics returning to the Church.^{ii iiiiv}
Large increases in Catholic conversions are being seen in the younger generation in numbers greater than at the turn of the 21st century.^vvi
Many Catholic colleges and Catholic schools are experiencing enrollment increases while public and private institutions continue to have enrollment declines.^{vii viii}

Local and Diocesan experience confirms that, while many families desire a different educational option for their child, transferring their child to a Catholic school may feel unattainable. The primary purpose for the creation of our 14 video series is to better communicate what it means to a family when they join a school community that views their child as a gift from God.
