Catholic Education Services is committed to walking alongside Catholic schools to provide comprehensive educational services that enhance learning while upholding Catholic values. Our goal is to strengthen Catholic education by providing online resources that help schools thrive in today’s learning environment.
Attract New Students
Offer flexible online learning options that make Catholic education accessible to more families—without compromising faith or academic excellence.
Offer More Options
Keep students engaged with more course choices, including AP®, world languages, technology, and unique electives like AI and Digital Media.
College-Ready Students
Give students a head start by introducing them to the online learning environment they’ll encounter in college, while offering rigorous academics and career-focused pathways.
Our Catholic Leadership
Under the thoughtful leadership of President Rob Birdsell and Fr. Michael Murray, Catholic Education Services is committed to nurturing the holistic development of students academically, spiritually, and formationally. Our educational mission is inspired by Jesus Christ's directive to "Go and teach all nations."
With a robust online curriculum accredited by Cognia and religious courses aligned with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' standards, you’ll find educational excellence grounded in the Catholic faith, fostering a global community of students and leaders dedicated to the Church's principles.
Services
Online learning opens opportunities for education. How can it help your school? Whether you're preparing students for online learning they'll encounter in college, offering more courses, or seek teaching support, we can help!
Expand Your Course Offerings
Offer more courses students want—languages, AP®, dual-credit, technology, and electives—without hiring additional staff. Your school chooses one course or our entire catalog. Students learn through our secure online platform with expert teachers.

Fill Teacher Openings
Address vacancies with qualified virtual teachers who lead live classes, grade assignments, and support students—just like any teacher in your school. Keep schedules intact and learning on track.

Full-Time Online Learning
Provide a full-time online option for students who can’t attend in person due to geography, illness, extracurricular schedules, or waitlists. Maintain enrollment while students learn from home or on the go.

Summer Learning
Help students catch up, get ahead, or stay engaged with flexible summer courses—credit recovery and semester-length options for K–12.
Credit Recovery
Enable high school students to retake courses and earn credits vital to graduation. Self-paced with pre-tests, teacher support, and flexible timelines.

College, Career, and Beyond
Equip students with academic rigor and independent learning skills needed for success beyond high school—AP®, Honors, World Languages, and future-ready electives.

Thank you all for your continuing support of our school's Middle School Social Studies program. Ms. Angove is a remarkable teacher. Our students feel a sense of connection with her just like with any of our faculty here on site, and they're learning! You all are a great blessing to our SVCS community.
Catholic Education Services has been essential in preparing our students for college. Their comprehensive courses and flexible instruction meet the needs of partner schools, and they excel at adapting to each school’s unique approach.
We turned to Catholic Education Services when our Algebra/Pre‑Algebra teacher took an extended leave, and they seamlessly filled the gap so live instruction could continue.
I have taught a number of religious classes and Catholic Education Services’s courses are some of the best I’ve worked with. The questions are thought provoking and ask you to dig deeper. They are excellent catechetically for all ages.
Catholic Education Services has been a blessing for our family. The office staff is always available, technical support is knowledgeable, and the teachers are warm and eager to help students enjoy learning.
