Welcome to the Spirit Services website. We congratulate you on taking an interest in Catholic elementary education. At Spirit Services we serve twenty-three Catholic elementary schools. You can find all the information you need to get started by clicking on the “Schools” category and selecting any school of interest to you.

"Yes, You Can!" Did you know that Vouchers, EdChoice, Diocesan Tuition Assistance, and Parish Tuition Assistance, to name a few, help families afford a Catholic education?

Not Convinced? Consider...

When you register your child at a Catholic elementary school you are joining a community of students in Grades Kindergarten through 8th grade where the educators are concerned about the individual progress of each child. Their goal as educators is to take each student to the next level.

[Please note that many of the Catholic schools also include three year old and four year old pre-school programs. Check the Schools category for more information.]

Catholic schools provide a friendly, relaxed, family-like atmosphere of learning for your child. Your child enters a community of learners that supports and nurtures holistic growth of mind, body and soul. Just like a family, the student, faculty, staff, and parents work to build positive relationships.

At each school a safety plan is in place in order to respond to possible emergencies in an effective and expedient manner. This leaves you, the parent, with peace of mind, knowing your child will be cared for in any situation, and allowing you to concentrate on your day ahead.

 So, go ahead…

We encourage you to talk to students and parents about their experience in a Catholic school.

We encourage you to measure the success of the Catholic elementary school by calling the area high schools and finding out how well the students are prepared for 9th grade.
