Our Bright Futures Schools
In addition to providing scholarships to area Catholic School students through our MOScholars program, Bright Futures Fund operates two K-8 schools in areas of need in Kansas City, MO. In the Historic Northeast we have Holy Cross School and in Westport we have Our Lady of Hope.
Each of our schools serve communities in vital need of good, dependible education; and we are very proud to provide such an opportunity.

What Sets Us Apart
|
Values Based
Faith is welcomed as an essential part of life. Persons of all faiths are welcomed and encouraged. Our diocesan school system students score above the national average in knowledge of the Catholic faith. Student Centered
Small class sizes allow certified teachers to teach a quality and relevant curriculum, to discipline students with dignity, and to instill, model, and encourage literacy and cooperative skills. The one-on-one attention distinguishes our schools. Academic Focus
The goal of the Bright Futures Schools is to have all students, even with multiple disadvantages, perform at or above grade level on national standardized tests. Despite impoverished circumstances and barriers to learning average daily attendance at Bright Futures Schools is 95% to 96% - ensuring access to daily instruction. |
Safety and Well-being
Each child receives care and nurturing in a safe environment that educates the whole child -mind, spirit, and values. Supportive and Collaborative
Parents are partners in education through active participation in school activities and parent-teacher conferences. Parents are accountable and pay a portion of their child’s tuition, participate in fundraising activities for the school, and volunteer. Accredited Schools
Missouri Chapter of the National Federation of Non-Public Schools and AdvancED (NCA-CASI, the world’s premier school accreditation system for both public and private schools) dually accredit our schools. We are one of only 30 U.S. diocesan districts to receive full accreditation from AdvancEd. Our Bright Futures Schools received one of four commendations for Diocesan-wide commitment to educating ALL students. |
