Our Catholic Schools are:

Dedicated to the spiritual development of their students;
Committed to academic rigor and the pursuit of excellence;
Holistic in their programs;
and, Available to all who would choose them.

Rhode Island Catholic Schools emphasize strong Christian values through daily religion classes, regular prayer and sacraments, and an emphasis on those values taught by Christ – faith in God, respect, compassion, discipline, responsibility, dignity, integrity, peace and justice.

Every Rhode Island Catholic School is accredited by the New England Association for Schools and Colleges. Students earn well-above average scores on standardized tests, 98% of our students graduate from high school, and 95% go on to college. Small school and class size, together with caring, committed teachers, strong parent involvement, and supportive school leaders provide a school climate that promotes energetic, enthusiastic and disciplined students who take pride in their school and their achievements.
