Our Catholic schools bring an amazing opportunity to families searching for an education based in a sense of faith and tradition. Today the Catholic schools in the Diocese of Oakland strive to be communities of faith in which the Christian message, the experience of community, worship, and social concern are integrated into a total experience for students, their parents and the members of the school staff. 

For over a century, Catholic schools have educated children in the most vulnerable and impoverished communities in United States. Catholic education empowers families with a pathway out of poverty by providing a faith based academically rigorous curriculum that focuses on the full development of the human person and community values of hard work, faith, respect, and self-worth.

• Historically Catholic schools produce graduates who are more civically engaged, more tolerant of diverse views, and more committed to service as adults.

• There is no system of schools — public, private, parochial or charter — that has comparable outcomes in educating demographically disadvantaged children.

• 98% of low-income Catholic school students graduate on time from high school, and 98% of that group goes on to college.

• We have 46 Catholic schools in two counties consisting of:
  37 Elementary/Middle schools
  9 High Schools
  18 Transitional Kindergarten programs
  19 Preschool programs
  39 After School programs
