Catholic Schools Center of Excellence
On A Mission
Catholic schools matter.
Our mission at the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence (CSCOE) is to enhance excellence and increase enrollment in our 79 preschool-8th grade Catholic schools in the 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.
