Why a co-ed Catholic high school?

The benefits of Catholic education are abundant. A faith filled life begins at home and continues with help from the parish family, school and outside activities. Reinforcement of Christian values and morals in everyday classroom settings further establish these roots in young people.

Badin offers a highly structured & disciplined co-ed environment where students learn how to deal with one another just as they will be required to as adults.

Co-education is the most natural and best form of education. Male and female students learn from each other’s approaches and learn to collaborate; each bringing their own style while working toward common goals.

Co-ed environments lead to improved social and personal development. Students are more self-confident, well balanced and better equipped to make new friends than their counterparts in single-sex schools.

Small class sizes enable increased instructor attention to individual needs.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its education policies, admission policies, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
