Why Ave Maria Catholic School 

---

Your child will be known here. Our teachers average 15 years in the classroom and over half hold or are pursuing a Master's degree. With small class sizes, your child isn't a face in the crowd — their teacher knows their name, their strengths, and exactly how they learn.

Faith woven into everything. From preschool through 8th grade, Catholic values aren't a separate class. They're the foundation of how we teach, how we treat each other, and how we grow. Every day begins with student-led prayer and a promise: Work Hard. Pray Hard. Play Hard. Take Care of One Another.

Academics that prepare them for what comes next. Our Core Knowledge curriculum consistently places students in the top 15% nationwide on ITBS assessments, with many performing one to three grade levels above their peers. Rigorous, joyful, and purposeful — because high expectations and a love of learning aren't opposites.

A community, not just a school. Parker, CO continues to vote us Best School and Best Teacher year after year. Not because of our test scores, but because of how this place feels. Families stay. Teachers stay. You belong here.

Ready for tomorrow's world. Promethean Boards, Chromebooks, document cameras, and a dedicated computer lab mean students graduate as confident, capable learners in both timeless subjects and modern skills.
