Our Mission...
The mission of Xavier Catholic Schools of Cedar Rapids/Marion is to provide all students with a Christ-centered education that is future-oriented, grounded in educational excellence and fosters a sense of community true to the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church.
Learning with a Higher Purpose
There is something more to a Catholic education that can sometimes be hard to describe. Our "higher purpose" is that more. With Catholicity interwoven into the fabric of everything we do in our schools, there are higher values, higher standards, a higher calling for service, and a higher purpose through our Catholic teaching and faith in place.
Our students receive a superior faith-based education that fosters the following:
Academic excellence (high test scores, high graduation rates)
Social, physical emotional and spiritual wellness (the "total person")
A commitment to service, which builds tomorrow's leaders
A true partnership with parents to help children become the best versions of themselves
