The Office of Catholic Schools provides courses of study/curriculum guides for mandatory use in all Archdiocesan and Parish Catholic schools.
The primary goal of the program of instruction in the schools of the Archdiocese of Denver is to provide learning experiences which most effectively inculcate worthwhile attitudes and impart the knowledge and skills necessary for the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical development of the student.

Our brand is “The Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools.” This system of schools is unified by a common tradition, purpose, and vision; yet our schools are distinctive, proud, and self-governed. In October 2009 AdvancED, an international organization and the parent organization of North Central Association, validated our brand by accrediting our system and through that process renewing the individual accreditation of each of our 39 schools. This process was repeated and our system, as well as all of our schools, were re-accredited in the spring of 2015. This is good news to be celebrated! It validates the strong education provided by the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools, recognized as an Advanced Placement Honor Roll District in the country, and commitment to continuous improvement. It also conveys our dedication to the brand promise—confidence that our children will experience more complete development and unsurpassed academic and personal success.
Accreditation is a method of quality assurance which evaluates and verifies an institution’s quality and encourages continuous improvement. District accreditation is a new and challenging model, and we are only the eighth Catholic school system to earn this designation. It is a protocol for school systems committed to systemic, systematic and sustainable improvement designed to ensure that an entire system is aligned in the accreditation process.
