The mission of the Catholic School Region is to ensure its schools are Christ-centered, academically excellent, and welcoming communities that teach students to be life-long learners and leaders energized by fidelity to Christ, the Church, and one another. The Catholic schools within the region are located in Bronx County. The Catholic School Region will work to build a stronger program in religious formation, academic training, extra-curricular activities, and service for students in the Region. Pathways to Excellence is our strategic plan designed to ensure a vibrant, sustainable Catholic elementary school system in the Archdiocese of New York, both now and in the future. Regionalization involves the coming together of most parish elementary schools into geographic regions.
