School Notes
Faith
At Charlottesville Catholic School, our fundamental task is
educating the whole person by integrating Christian values with
learning in daily life. Recognizing the uniqueness and
individuality of children, we guide them to discover and develop
their God-given gifts.
Knowledge
Charlottesville Catholic School is fully accredited by the
National Catholic Education Association (NCEA). Charlottesville
Catholic was awarded the National Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence
in Education in 2005 and again in 2014 by the US Department of
Education. Our students consistently rank amoung the highest in the
country on standardized tests. We are proud that most of our
graduates move on to perform in advanced level courses with the top
10% of high school students.
Community
A faith filled education begins with the family and grows
through the community. School famiiles are encouraged to
participate in weekly liturgies and in a variety of community
service efforts. Recognizing that our community extends beyond
Charlottesville Catholic School to our local parishes, our students
often serve in parish choirs and as altar servers. Additionally,
Charlottesville Catholic students do have to meet a required number
of service hours, which can be achieved through classroom and
school wide community service initiatives, as well as through
outside organizations and events. The school consistently strives
to increase the number of hours given back to the community every
year, and has reached nearly 7,000 hours this past year!
Charlottesville Catholic School is a regional Catholic School
under the supervision of the Office of Catholic Schools in the
Diocese of Richmond, and follows the policies and direction of the
