Education with a Purpose: How Catholic Schools Equip Students for Life

June 10, 2024

Why settle for a school that only enriches children’s minds when you could choose one that also enriches their souls? 

While reading, writing, and “‘rithmetic” help equip children for prosperous futures, an education rooted in faith imparts something even more valuable than the potential for prosperity: Purpose. 

Catholic education, in particular, impacts the morals and character of children through values-based instruction, giving their lives meaning and direction and empowering them to impact the world for good. The effects of this education continue beyond graduation and have the potential to last a lifetime!

While character formation may be an important part of any education, a Catholic education seeks to cultivate the character of Christ in students. As students follow Jesus’ example, learning to relate to one another with love, respect, and dignity, they become more like their Maker.

Academic excellence serves a higher purpose in a Catholic school’s safe, loving learning environment. While students enjoy discovering their aptitudes, they discover a deeper fulfillment as they connect their career pursuits with the call of God in their lives.

We are proud to say we offer all of these unique educational benefits at Tuscarawas County Catholic Schools. It is our pleasure and privilege to offer values-based instruction, opportunities for character formation, and academic excellence to all who enter our doors! 

While private, religious education has proven cost-prohibitive for many in the past, the financial assistance available through Ohio’s EdChoice Scholarship Program makes our schools affordable for all. Learn how to apply for this scholarship here so your children can experience the benefits of this program. 

We think you will be glad you chose to start your child’s school experience with us. Over 75% of our students read at or above their grade level by the end of kindergarten. Even better, 85% of our students pass Ohio’s Third-Grade Reading Guarantee Test—and this includes students with Special Education Plans who are not required to pass the test. We are so proud of our teachers and how they shepherd our students, ensuring that all receive a quality education. 

While the Catholic faith is the foundation for all we value and teach, we welcome people of all faiths. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors, which means we do our best to ensure that our schools are warm, inclusive spaces for everyone, regardless of religious background. Anyone who attends our schools will graduate equipped to excel in life!
