About the Center
Established in 1996, the Center for Catholic Education at the University of Dayton promotes, enhances, energizes, and supports Catholic schools.
A professional staff of 14 delivers programs and services in a Catholic, 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, researched best practices, and talent, which include:
- Professional development programs and initiatives
- Teachers in the Lalanne Program
- Student support coordinator
- Mental health therapists and a social worker of the Urban Child Development Center
- Director of Marianist Educational Studies and Partnerships
- Nationally known historian of Catholic education, Dr. Thomas Hunt
We feel honored to serve and to nurture Catholic schools in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas, as well as other dioceses in the Midwest and in San Antonio, Texas.
