Tuscarawas Central Catholic Elementary School is dedicated to providing students with opportunities to become life long learners by integrating Catholic teaching with academic excellence.
We are open to all. We are affordable. We will turn no one away because of financial need.
We offer a strong and well-rounded program from pre-school through grade six with-in a rich, faith-filled environment. We believe every student is a gift from God. And we believe every student can succeed.
Tuscarawas Central Catholic Elementary School uses a positive behavior support system. Students are rewarded for positive behavior, and discipline is handled in a loving and respectful manner to help students learn self-control, respect, and responsibility.
In addition to the core curriculum designed by the Diocese of Columbus Office of Schools, students attend computer, music, and physical education classes twice a week.
