Catholic schools matter.
Our mission at the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence (CSCOE) is to enhance excellence and increase enrollment in the 78 preschool-8th grade Catholic schools in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.
We do this by sharing innovative ideas, sound business practices, proven strategies and financial resources to help meet each school's individual goals.
We invite you to join us.

The community at a Catholic school or preschool cannot be found anywhere else.
Catholic schools form the lives of young people in every dimension of their being, and our principals are key leaders in this. At the 2019 CSCOE Bash, we honored our principals with the Legacy of Greatness Award.
We believe every person is called to greatness. Our Catholic schools beautifully walk with each student on that journey.
In its pilot year, every student was reading at or above grade level, after having started out with 50% of students at risk for reading difficulties. CSCOE is looking to expand this program to all of our 79 schools.
