What makes Catholic Schools unique?

Christ-centered quality education
Catholic schools integrate our faith and Gospel values into every part of the educational experience, whether a student is in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in the chapel. A student learns to think and act according to the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.

Dedicated administrators, teachers and staff
While parents are the primary educators of their children, Catholic schools provide a "second home" in a collaborative community of parents and educators, where morals and values are supported and complemented by those who serve as role models in the faith. Many Catholic school alumni share lifelong memories and relationships with those persons who taught, coached or simply encouraged them with a kind word or smile.

High academic standards
Catholic school students are encouraged and challenged to achieve their fullest potential as individuals. In 2006, Catholic elementary students ranked 21 or more percentile points higher than national norms and 12 or more percentile points higher than private school norms on IOWA Achievement Tests. 98% of 2007 Catholic high school graduates in the Archdiocese of Detroit went on to attend a college or university.

Well-rounded curriculum
Catholic schools educate the "whole" child – mind, body, and soul. Through a solid academic core, variety of extracurricular offerings, and opportunities to worship and practice the faith, students are given the tools to build a strong foundation for life and become contributing members of their community and Church.

Safe and structured learning environment
Students learn best in an atmosphere where they feel safe, valued, and cared for. Catholic schools set high standards for student behavior and appearance, which fosters self-discipline, confidence, responsibility, and respect for all persons.
