Dear Prospective Families,
Welcome to Bishop Larkin Catholic School. I hope that you not only take time to to explore our website, but to also visit our school in person. At Bishop Larkin, we put children first in everything we do and when you enter our school campus you feel that immediately. We embody a safe, nurturing and faith based educational environment where each child receives significant personal attention and love from a small, family-like staff. Bishop Larkin is a place where children learn to understand the love God has for them and one another while getting to know who they are as individuals and how to be the best they can be.
Bishop Larkin Catholic School is dedicated to excellence in academics. Our faculty is committed to high-quality instruction and partnerships with parents that enable students to flourish. It is a blessing to work and to have my own child attend school in a place where we share the common mission of living out the Catholic traditions of service, compassion and leadership.
We invite you to see for yourself what makes Bishop Larkin Catholic School such a wonderful place to learn and grow through God and the Catholic faith.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Stacy Cervone, Principal
