About the Center
Established in 1996, the Center for Catholic Education at the University of Dayton promotes, enhances, energizes and supports Catholic schools. Our professional staff delivers programs and services in a Catholic and Marianist spirit – to educate for formation in faith; to provide an integral quality education; to educate in family spirit; to educate for service, justice, and peace; and to educate for adaptation and change.
The Center for Catholic Education, housed in the School of Education and Allied Professions, collaborates with colleagues at the university to share resources, research best practices and talent.
We serve through:
- Professional development programs and initiatives.
- Teachers in the Lalanne Program.
- Mental health therapists and social workers of the Urban Child Development Resource Center.
- Director of Marianist Educational Studies and Partnerships.
- Nationally known historian of Catholic education, Dr. Thomas Hunt.
We are honored to serve and nurture Catholic schools in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas as well as in other dioceses in the Midwest.
