Going From Good to Great – With Your Help
We’re Doing Well in a Troubled City
The Catholic Partnership Schools have been educating Camden’s children for over 100 years – and we’ve been doing a lot of very good things. In so many ways, our 5 schools have been anchors of community, stability, and opportunity in the city of Camden, NJ.
With our staff of experienced teachers, emphasis on strong academics, and a safe learning environment, our current Catholic school model is successfully developing curious, intelligent, and compassionate students.
It takes $5.5 million a year just to be good.
Becoming Great in Camden
Significant donor investments in the future of Camden’s children will provide our staff with the resources they need to make our schools great! And the results of the investment will be seen in not only the lives of boys and girls but in the civic, economic, and cultural life of the city itself.
For each of our Partnership schools to reach its potential in terms of program, services, and staff – and to develop all that we dream for our students –it will take more than $8 million.
