Our mission is to help children become knowledgeable, skilled, mature, loving, Christian adults. If you share that mission as a parent, then consider a Catholic education for your child. There is no question that Catholic Schools are very successful in educating children academically and in the faith. The level of involvement, commitment and expectations on the part of Catholic school parents and teachers is very high. Catholic schools offer a higher level of discipline and order.
Policies regarding course work, homework and ability level grouping are extremely effective.
Some critics argue that the Catholic school success story is due to the influence of selectivity and the higher socioeconomic levels of parents. But the research consistently shows that the findings above remain constant even when these factors are controlled. In fact, disadvantaged students achieve higher levels of learning in Catholic schools than in any other school setting.
