Ready for College and Beyond
Catholic schools provide a bridge to other life experiences and opportunities. Graduates of Catholic schools are well prepared for college and all aspects of life – spiritual, academic, professional and personal. Educational programs meet or exceed state requirements and align with individual student needs. Students emerge with a strong liberal arts education that is supported by technology and focused on the skills needed for today and tomorrow. Students learn decision-making skills, develop high levels of literacy in language arts and mathematics, apply inquiry-based experimentation and problem solving, and build understanding and appreciation for world history and cultures. They also participate in award-winning visual and performing arts programs, build lifelong habits of fitness, and engage in a variety of high-quality electives and extracurricular activities. In the Archdiocese of Louisville, 98% of Catholic high school seniors further their education and are awarded millions of dollars in college scholarships to prestigious universities nationwide.
