We ensure that students succeed in a strong, standards-based educational experience.
Our teaching staff sets high expectations for learning and growth, and actively works with students to help them succeed and to be prepared for high school and life.
Our curriculum helps students to achieve their fullest potential through effective, research-based teaching practices. We are accredited by the State of Illinois and the Archdiocese of Chicago. Our Early Childhood Program is NAEYC accredited.
Our students consistently outperform their expected levels of achievement on standardized tests. This success led to our recent nomination for the Cardinal’s Award, a prestigious honor that recognizes the faculty and staff of the school that exhibits the most marked improvement in the education of their students, as measured by annual standardized test scores. We are one of only 5 Archdiocesan schools nominated.
Our teachers participate in on-going professional development.
