Choosing a Catholic School

You have already made the decision to enroll your child in a Catholic Elementary School.  For that we applaud you!  Catholic Elementary Schools are unique faith-centered communities that integrate thinking and believing in ways that encourage intellectual growth and nurture faith and inspiration.  Catholic Schools create a supportive and challenging climate which affirms the dignity of all persons within a school community.

Now you need to decide which Catholic Elementary School is right for you and your family.  God made each one of us unique with special gifts and needs.  School is a new destination along the jouney of faith and education.  As on begins the task of choosing a Catholic school, one will discover that each has its own qualities.

We ask that you create a list of everything that you and your family expect from a Catholic School experience.  Evaluate this list and arrange it in order of importance. 

You may use the attached checklist to evaluate different schools and to keep track of your notes.  Click here for a copy of the checklist.
