Institute for Catholic Schools

Catholic education plays a vital role in the future of our church and society by delivering an intellectual and moral foundation, grounded in faith and service, for the next generation of students. The value of a Catholic education is proven most of all in their outcomes, with 99% of Catholic high school students graduating, and 86% going on to attend four-year colleges. 

The Institute for Catholic Schools (ICS) has long worked on supporting excellence in Catholic education by providing training and development programs and other expert resources to Catholic school faculty, administrators and school boards. We have seen meaningful success with these programs. Unfortunately, many Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools are under increasing pressure, and St. John’s University’s Institute for Catholic Schools is a leading force in the effort to support them. In order to strengthen the Catholic education system, ICS is working with local dioceses and private individuals to provide the resources necessary to expand our programs and sustain excellence in Catholic education long term.

If you believe that delivering the best in Catholic School education is critically important for students, our local community, the Church and society, please support the Institute for Catholic Schools.
