Our Catholic School Ministries support the Pastor and Principal in social, spiritual, administrative, and fund raising activities.

Schools represent a vital part of any society. Through them, the wisdom and culture of a people are passed along to new generations. The Church sponsors and supports schools because it recognizes that, for a people of faith, the wisdom and culture transmitted by a school are enriched and put into perspective by the Gospel message and by the history of Christian people. Our school’s mission is to enhance student learning in an environment that evokes the Catholic principles of love, respect, honesty, integrity and service to others.

St. Matthew Catholic School is one of 46 Catholic elementary schools in the Diocese of Columbus. Catholic schools strive to educate the whole child. Students learn not only to read and compute, but they are taught that respect for self and others, concern for the rights of others, and responsible decision-making, are the basis for achieving successful Christian lives. The school is chartered by the state of Ohio and meets all state minimum requirements.

St. Matthew School is fully accredited by the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association. Religious education is an integral part of the school day. All religion teachers take course work through the Department of Religious Education to become certified as religion teachers.
