Being a parent, I was very glad that we were able to send our child to Catholic Central especially from a financial aspect from when we went through a time of unemployment. The academics were very excellent and there are many options available from core classes to AP and duel enrollment. Their clubs, athletics and other extracurricular actives offer something for everyone to be involved or not involved if they do not want to. One of the most important aspects of the school is that all the programs include religion and faith-based teachings in understanding the topics and the activities. Their facilities have all been recently updated and their staff are incredible. CC is a blessing and is blessed for being in the Heart of the City!
Catholic Central offers some great AP courses with experienced and dedicated teachers. The sports and other extracurricular activities were somewhat limited in scope but very engaging. If you or your student is not definitively planning on going to a four year college that is somewhat competitive to apply to, this school is not for you. They are hyper focused on college admittance and attendance. Furthermore, diversity and overall openness to a variety of viewpoints/perspectives is not something this school prioritizes beyond marketing purposes. They do not walk the walk in that area.
Awesome school! They have great academics, STEM program, it’s located in downtown Grand Rapids, they attend Mass weekly, volunteer their time, and have an excellent athletic program. Football teams are the best in the state!
