Beginning in 2012, the five Catholic parishes of Bismarck came together to form Light of Christ Catholic Schools, an unprecedented venture reaffirming the strengths and successes of Catholic education in Bismarck.

Today, Light of Christ Catholic Schools offers a modern educational program in which students learn language arts, mathematics, science, morality, fine arts, faith, and languages in small classes taught by caring teachers.
The students at Light of Christ Catholic Schools have opportunities to discover themselves as scholars, leaders, stewards, thinkers, athletes, and artists.
 

Vision Statement:
The Catholic schools of the Bismarck area will respond to the Bishops’ call by being Catholic in spirit and culture, academically excellent, jointly operated by the member parishes, and funded in a manner that makes them available, accessible, and affordable to all families who wish to choose them for their children.

Mission Statement:
“We are convinced that Catholic Schools continue to be ‘the most effective means available to the Church for the education of children and young people’ who are the future of the Church.”
