“We’re closing our doors… for good.” Friend, did you know that nearly 100 Catholic schools across America are forced to say those dreaded words every year? We believe every family deserves the freedom to choose where and how their children are educated –– and that’s why we’re working to keep Catholic schools open. |
Right now, 1.6 million American children are enrolled in Catholic schools, but the school system they love is under threat of extinction –– especially in states that don’t allow taxpayers to direct education tax dollars to private schools.
For many families, their local Catholic school is the only available alternative to the public school system. And if their school closes, their access to school choice can disappear overnight. |
This is the withering of educational options in our most at-risk neighborhoods.
Because these schools aren't just for Catholics.
There's a beautiful phrase you will hear from Catholic educators: "We don't teach these kids because they're Catholic. We teach because we're Catholic."
Catholic schools don't just open where there is existing parent wealth. As a charitable work, they serve many communities where quality education is lacking.
Friend, this is why we fight for school choice –– and supporters like you are making a powerful impact every day. |
