The Department of Catholic Schools (DCS) provides support to over 24,200 students and 2,287 teachers, principals, and school staff who are on their faith and education journey. Our purpose is to promote and serve our Community of Catholic Schools and the Archdiocese of San Francisco by communicating, assessing and reporting on matters of faith, Catholic Identity, policy and academic achievement between the Archdiocese, DCS, and the schools.  

Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, in collaboration with parents, pastors, parish leadership, and the faith community, teach and model Gospel values and the faith of the Catholic Church thereby forming witnesses of Jesus Christ through comprehensive religious, academic, co-curricular and service programs.
