The Andrew M. Greeley Center for Catholic Education was created to support the mission of pre-Kindergarten-12^th grade Catholic schools through consultation and professional learning. 

We meet with client organizations to identify professional learning needs and create customized plans to achieve those goals. 

We create strategies to build the capacity of Catholic schools so they can continue to meet the spiritual and educational needs of the students they serve.

As a Center, we believe that…

• Catholic schools must have strong Catholic identity and academic excellence
• We are called to serve others through consultation and collaboration
• Innovative approaches to programming are necessary for Catholic schools to fulfill their mission
• Strong teachers and administration are essential factors in excellent Catholic schools

By advancing the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Schools, we focus on... 

1. Supporting schools through innovative professional learning
2. Sustaining and enhancing Catholic school leadership
3. Challenging schools to pursue inclusion, justice and equity
4. Producing practical research publications
