Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School

Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School is a regional elementary school located in the Archdiocese of Chicago and is jointly sponsored by four parishes: St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Julie Billiart, and St. Stephen Deacon and Martyr. Under the collaborative leadership of the sponsoring parishes, and through the efforts of our pastors, teachers, staff, and parents, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School supports parish ministries through faith formation and social service outreach. Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School inspires and encourages its students to live according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Within our Catholic School, Jesus illumines all of life, including academics. Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School is committed to the highest standards of academic excellence, providing a Christ- centered quality Catholic education by developing the knowledge, values, attitudes, and skills essential for the unique challenges of the 21st century and beyond. Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School supports the Mission of each of the four sponsoring parishes while building a school community of believers. Modeling after the life of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, all members of the school community work together to build a faith community where peace is pervasive and respect for all of God's people is expected. As an academic institution, CB School is dedicated to designing a program of success for each child. These learning experiences include opportunities to challenge and enrich talents, strategies to compensate for weaknesses, and programs designed to give children the skills to succeed in the 21st century. We believe that the focus of the Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School experience is to motivate students to learn, which in turn, will enhance their self-esteem. Our goal is to prepare students to be life-long learners and the hope is that the Cardinal Bernardin student approaches learning with openness and eagerness
