President Rob Birdsell announces our name change and the next step in our mission to better serve Catholic schools.
Dear Catholic School Leader,
We are excited to share an important milestone in our mission to serve Catholic education: Catholic Virtual is now Catholic Education Services. This change reflects our deepened commitment to walk alongside Catholic schools with a broader vision and renewed purpose.
Why the Change?
Over the years, we’ve listened to your challenges—staffing shortages, limited online learning adoption, and the growing need to prepare students for college and career readiness. Our new name better represents the value we bring to you: a trusted partner providing comprehensive educational services that strengthen your Catholic identity and academic excellence.
What We Stand For
Catholic Education Services helps schools thrive by:
- Offering curriculum and instructional support rooted in faith
- Solving teacher shortage challenges with flexible solutions
- Expanding access to AP, Honors, Dual-Credit, World Language, and electives
- Helping students become college-ready through advanced courses and digital literacy
- Providing professional learning for leaders and operational support tailored to your needs
Looking Ahead
In 2026, we’ll launch webinars and podcasts designed to equip Catholic school leaders with strategies for college readiness, digital literacy, and innovative ways to extend your mission through online learning. Watch your inbox or visit our website for more on these events for more details.
Don't miss our first free webinar of 2026: Celebrating Catholic School Growth. Catholic school leaders, Mary Beth Lennon and Nancy Barkan, join me and share how they turned their schools' declining enrollment around and reshaped the academic foundation of their schools.
We remain the same dedicated team—committed to forming students in faith, academic excellence, and service. We’re always available at (772) 837-6101. Thank you for your partnership as we begin this exciting new chapter together.
In Christ,
Rob Birdsell
President | Catholic Education Services
