We Believe Every Student
Can Achieve Success

In Catholic Schools, We Believe

We believe excellent learning happens in spaces that emphasize academic, spiritual and emotional development. We believe encouraging and nurturing communities provide the necessary elements for student success. We believe our students draw strength from shared faith.

We Believe Challenging Academics Prepare Students for the Future 

In Catholic schools, students embrace their intellectual curiosity through nationally recognized academic programs, preparing them for success in high school and beyond.

97%

of students who attend an Archdiocese of Chicago high school go on to attend a 4-year college or university. 

“Small, close-knit, great academics and great community. What else would a parent want?” 

We Believe Belonging Fosters Student Wellness 

Catholic school communities are welcoming and nurturing. Our teachers cultivate a sense of belonging that allows students to fully engage, learn and grow.

We Believe Faith Fuels Success 

Catholic schools ensure a spiritually and emotionally uplifting environment for all students. Understanding that God is present in our lives provides perspective and emboldens confidence.

96%

of students agree that God is present in their lives.

“Our Catholic school strongly emphasizes moral and personal values, shaping kids into not just smart students but good people.”

We Believe Moral Courage is a Shared Value  

Catholic school students develop a moral compass that is equally important to academic pursuits. The qualities of integrity, honesty, kindness and trustworthiness are essential to success in school and in life.
