Featured Events
Education that Sets a Solid Foundation
-
Small Class Sizes
Our teachers love getting to know each student personally and our small classrooms provide the perfect environment for relationships to thrive. Our small class sizes offer a typical 16:1 teacher to student ratio, which is ideal for differentiated learning to be applied.
-
Differentiated Learning
Our differentiated learning approach takes into consideration the unique challenges and skills of each student. Our small class sizes allow teachers to assess and create flexible ways to best meet each student’s needs.
-
Supportive Community
Upon entering our schools, your family will immediately feel the difference in not only the way we teach, but also in the way we interact, communicate, engage and involve you. We are committed to being an inclusive, welcoming community that believe in placing the student at the heart of everything we do. Students, parents, educators and administrators work together, alongside one another to ensure a supportive community.
-
Activities & Athletics
Cathedral launched a new youth sports program called ‘Crusader Youth Sports.’ This supports grades 4-6, offering a unique opportunity for all CCS schools to take part and meet future classmates and teammates as students are blended across CCS grades 4-6. Each week, CYS athletes will learn and play with the high school athletes and coaches in a variety of skills, drills, contests, and games as they start their path as a Crusader student-athlete.
-
Catholic Identity
We strive to help students develop their unique God-given gifts. All students participate in religion instruction, liturgical celebrations, student retreats, and service initiatives. Students start and end each day in prayer and will attend weekly Mass. We provide a Catholic educational experience where students love, learn and lead with their faith in service to others.
-
Service Leadership
Each school adopts several ongoing service projects that support and add value to our local community. Our students are encouraged to take part, whether it be cleaning up yard leaves of senior homes in the fall, to serving at local parish fish fry’s, to raising funds for a local food shelf or cause, there are several ways in we encourage students and extended family members to be part of a service initiative.
Crusader Youth Sports
Our youth sports program supports grades 4-6 with additional opportunities for grades 1-3, offering a unique opportunity for all CCS schools to take part and meet future classmates and teammates. Each week, CYS athletes learn and play with the high school athletes and coaches in a variety of skills, drills, contests, and games as they start their path as a Crusader.
Cathedral high school student athletes work with nearly 200 youth athletes helping to coach and develop these younger athletes each week. High schoolers share smiles, laughter and hi-fives as they become role models to the next generation of the sport.
