There are many important decisions parents make on a daily basis. What movies and television are appropriate? When should curfew be? What schools will give them the best opportunities? Lucky for parents, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati helps you answer the last one with ease.
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati Catholic Schools provide the highest quality education. These Catholic Elementary Schools and Catholic High Schools give students all the necessary tools to succeed. Students in Catholic Schools continually rank higher on standardized tests. These high scores contribute to other significant numbers. Catholic schools have a 98% graduation rate; and 98% of students pursue higher education.
Catholic high schools rely on their values-added education for their high graduation rates and high numbers of students who pursue higher education. Unique to Catholic schools is the opportunity to nurture spiritual and moral values within the students. This is constantly reinforced not only in classes of religious instruction but throughout the curriculum and extracurricular activities. The Gospel's message is taught in our classrooms every day.
The importance of extracurricular activities is central to the excellence exhibited by these schools as well. Extracurricular activities include countless sports programs, social skill building and the arts. Eighty percent of students in Greater Cincinnati Catholic Schools and Greater Dayton Catholic Schools participate in extracurricular activities. All students are also required to participate in community service projects. This is just one of the many ways these Catholic schools give back to their communities.
Each school is a true reflection of its community. Approximately 16% of students are from other faiths and 16% are minorities. In Cincinnati, 66% of inner city students are from other faiths while 64% are minorities. In Dayton, 55% of inner city students are from other faiths while 60% are minorities. Research shows that students from disadvantaged backgrounds have a far greater chance to succeed in Catholic schools than anywhere else.
At each school, the personnel play another pivotal role in the students' success. All 100% of the teachers in the Catholic schools are certified. In the 92 area Catholic elementary schools, 23% of teachers and administrators have a Master's degree or higher. In the 22 area Catholic high schools, 68% of the teachers and administrators have a Master's degree or higher. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati employs the highest skilled staff to instill excellence in their students.
Each school encourages parental involvement. It is vital that parents are involved in the schools their children attend. This opens the lines of communication between all parties: students, teachers, and parents. When all three work in unison students are in the best possible environment for success, and that is at the heart of what the Archdiocese wants and expects of their students.
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati wants your child to succeed. Each school is dedicated to the individual student as well as the communities where they are located. They will instill values for a lifetime in your child that will go far beyond their elementary and high school years.
We encourage you to visit our schools online, and then visit them in person. All schools welcome parent tours and visits at any time; simply contact the school(s) of your choice to arrange a tour. For more information go to http://www.valuesforalifetime.com.
