Diocese of Jefferson City : "We Had to Shift from What We're Teaching to What Students Are Learning"

Every Catholic diocese carries a version of the same tension. The schools within it are parish schools — each one shaped by its own community, its own history, its own parish culture. Teachers and families take pride in that distinctiveness. And yet the diocese exists precisely to hold those schools together, to ensure that a child in a small rural parish receives an education as rigorous and as Catholic as the one offered at the flagship school in the city.
