The “Central Suburban Catholic School Education Expo” is inspired by the nation’s Catholic schools’ largest jump in enrollment in five decades, currently tallied at six percent growth (source: National Catholic Education Association). Catholic schools are demonstrating their enduring value through student achievement, a commitment to higher standards, the benefits of the Mass, family support systems, and parish community. In the Archdiocese of Boston, Catholic school families overwhelmingly state that they choose Catholic schools because of their ability to meet the needs of their children (source: study, The Lynch Foundation).
