Mater Dei Academy Elementary in Columbus, Ohio

“This school features small classes under the CMRI order, which follows the traditional Tridentine Mass, segregates most grades, and incorporates discipline and a healthy environment for my three daughters, ages 10, 8 & 5.”

“Mater Dei Academy is a small, K-8 state chartered school that has operated in a Catholic tradition since 1971. Although not a diocesan school, each family and Catholic teacher are full and participating members of a local diocesan parish. We receive no funds from the Diocese, and only what is legally allowable from the local school district. Sound catechisis in the Roman Catholic Faith is taught and in a manner reminiscent of the time before the 1960's, with religion as a subject that is integrated in the class structure throughout the day, and not just simply another academic discipline. Uniforms are the rule of the day, and students sit in straight rows and columns, receiving letter grades at the end of each grading period. Because of this educational approach, it is unique in the Columbus area. Academics are stressed and a number of our graduates receive scholarships at local high schools.”
