School Notes

Shrine Catholic Schools are a treasured educational ministry of one of the largest parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit, the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica. Our schools become home to families who care about the Catholic education and future of our children and young adults, recognizing the joy and benefit of doing so as part of a community that shares values and traditions. It is one of only four co-educational high schools in the archdiocese.

Shrine Catholic Schools are co-educational, Pre-K-12 parish schools committed to faith-based education, academic excellence and a comprehensive experience that develops the character and potential of every student.We form a foundation of success through Catholic teachings, hands-on learning, technology, and college-preparatory curriculum. Opportunities to be a part of accomplished athletics, visual and performing arts, service projects and extracurricular activities enrich the student experience and unite our families, creating a strong sense of community.Our long-standing commitment to Gospel values, academic excellence and social responsibility prepares students to lead lives with faith, compassion and respect for all.

School Reviews

5 5/30/2025

We have had a great experience at Shrine, starting in preschool and now in middle school. Our child, like almost all of the students, has been welcomed into their sports programs, musicals, choir, etc. Kids have all the options. They really seem to get the kids lifted up academically, and it's been a happy place to be, overall.
