OUR MISSION
Christ was made like us so that we might be made like God. This is a quote from our patron Saint Athanasius and shapes our mission in the school. At St. Athanasius, our mission is to provide a Catholic education that nurtures the whole child. We believe in fostering the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional growth of each student. Our goal is to prepare our students for a lifetime of learning and to instill in them a love of God and a sense of service to others.
OUR HISTORY
St. Athanasius School was founded in the early 1900s by a group of dedicated Catholic educators who saw the need for a Catholic school in Evanston. Since then, we have been providing a high-quality education to children in the area. Our mission is to instill in our students a love of learning and a strong sense of faith. We are proud of our long history of serving the Evanston community and look forward to continuing to provide excellent education for years to come.
