Schools represent a vital part of any society and are a major source by which the wisdom and culture of a people are passed to new generations. Catholic schools reflect the importance of integrating the Catholic faith with the educational process; therefore, the Church sponsors and supports schools as the major vehicle for pursuing its teaching ministry.

The Catholic schools of the Diocese of Columbus are also committed to creating and maintaining an academic climate which provides students the best opportunity to become productive, contributing citizens of their world. Equally important, the schools are sensitive to the uniqueness of each student and foster the value of the individual.

As we begin the twenty-first century, the schools of the Diocese are expanding their vision to include education which develops productive citizens of the world capable of responding appropriately to differences among people and meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing society.
