The purpose of Catholic education is to provide young people with a strong religious foundation upon which to build the rest of their lives. Scotus Central Catholic forms students in traditional values to build their lives on the message of the Gospel by proclaiming the “good news” in word and action. In addition, the education program prepares students to compete in an increasingly technological society with a comprehensive curriculum as well as a wide variety of extra-curricular activities.
Scotus Central Catholic is an exceptionally dedicated institution with the highest expectations for its staff and students. There are excellent opportunities for individuals to participate in class discussions and projects. Students are challenged academically and have the benefit of personal attention from the instructors. The overall students/teacher ratio is 16:1, which is an ideal situation for work and study for both students and teachers. Scotus is a great place to be, live, and grow!
Scotus is funded from three sources. One-third of the cost to keep Scotus in existence comes from an investment from the three Catholic parishes in Columbus. Each parish gives financial support to Scotus based on the number of families in each parish. Another portion of the cost comes from development activities and volunteer work. It is encouraged for all parents to contribute volunteer time to raise funds for Scotus. The last third of the cost consists of the tuition paid by families who attend Scotus.
"You really feel like you are a part of something, it is like an extended family. From what I've felt, from all the different things I've been a part of here when I was here and as an alumni, I really feel like there is a community feel at Scotus that lasts beyond your six years as a student."
"Cuando Antonio ya va a salir y va a enfrentar el mundo, la vida, todo eso se lo ha fortalecido Scotus. Muy aparte de la educación que nosotros le hemos dado en la casa, la escuela ha coincidido con todo lo que nosotros hemos enseñado en casa, entonces simplemente ha sido un fortalecimiento y en el cual hemos estado casi siempre de acuerdo."
