Who We Are

Mission

The mission of the Catholic Education Collaborative is to create outstanding schools that are welcoming communities which integrate excellence in learning with Catholic faith formation. By serving as welcoming communities, Dayton area Catholic schools will open their doors wide to all children, regardless of their religious faith. By applying this Christ-centered evangelistic approach, a Catholic education will be enthusiastically offered to:

  • Catholic Children – Children of Catholic families, regardless of financial means
  • Non-Catholic Children – Children of non-Catholic families who are seeking a faith-based education

As welcoming communities and places where the Gospel and God’s love are shared, Dayton area Catholic schools will serve as caring environments wholly dedicated to preparing students for life, higher education and employment. That exceptional goal is achieved by uniting academic excellence, knowledge and practice of the Catholic faith, a vital community life and outstanding service to the local community.

Vision
