MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS OFFICE

The Catholic Schools Office (CSO) of the Diocese of Nashville embodies the evangelizing and educational missions of the Catholic Church. The CSO provides vision and guidance to the Catholic schools to promote healthy, vibrant educational communities. By uniting all in our common mission, the CSO supports our Catholic schools to produce future leaders of the Church and the world, grounded in Christ’s call to bring the Gospel to all people. 

OUR PURPOSE

The Catholic schools of the Diocese of Nashville are centered in the person of Jesus Christ. We celebrate the unique qualities of each school community and welcome students of various races, cultures, ethnic backgrounds, faiths, and learning abilities. Our tradition of excellence in academics and faith formation, enhanced by partnering with families, educates the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. Catholic schools build strong minds, kind hearts, and confident leaders in faith.
