Office of Schools

The Office of Schools is a part of the Secretariat for Catholic Education and New Evangelization in the Diocese of Kalamazoo. In realizing that we are all in need of the Life Of Christ, the Secretariat is called to ignite and renew the faith and knowledge of teachers, church personnel, catechists, parents, volunteers and youth with the unchanging Truths of the Catholic faith, in order that they may practice their faith in a meaningful way, instilling in them the missionary spirit.
 
The Office of Schools is dedicated to sustaining and improving the quality of Catholic formation and education in our diocese. It serves as the administrative structure through which the bishop directs and moderates the education and catechetical activity in the diocese. 

The Office of Schools provides:

• Professional development opportunities for teachers, administrators and support staff
• Administrative assistance to Catholic schools and Local Consultative Advisory Boards
• Support with enrollment and retention initiatives
• Guidance and monitoring on school improvements
• Oversight and guidance on curriculum
• Assistance with obtaining title funds and grants
