St. Charles Borromeo provides Christian educational opportunities for all ages from preschool through adult.

St Charles Borromeo School
St. Charles Borromeo School is a full-time school for grades Kindergarten through 8. It exists to impart a well grounded knowledge of the world, God and self.
Religious training at St. Charles is an integral part of the education process. Through daily classes in religion and by incorporating religious values and truths into every subject of the curriculum, we help and direct the child to find their relationship to God and their neighbor. The students acquire basic skills in communication arts, math and the sciences helping them to attain the power to think constructively and solve problems. They are also trained in the use of personal computers preparing them for the future.
We are fully recognized by the Illinois State Board  of Education and the Catholic Schools Office of the Diocese of Joliet.

St Charles Borromeo Religious Education Program
All parish religious education programs have as their goal the development of a living, conscious and active faith. Programs for children and youth support parents in their role as primary education of their children by weekly bulletin inserts, family-friendly preparation for 1st Reconciliation and Eucharist, and Confirmation and family workshops for the Advent and Lenten seasons.

Preschool groups meet during the 9:00 and 10:30 Sunday Masses. They are open to parish children 3 years of age through Kindergarten. Elementary school students meet on Saturday mornings at two different sessions 8:30-9:45am and 10:00-11:15am. Junior High students usually have class on Monday evenings from 7:00-8:15pm. They also assemble on the 1st Sunday of the month for the "Sunday Gathering" from 10:30am to 1:00pm.

The SPRED program is for children and adults who are not mainstreamed into our regular classes. They meet on the second and fourth Monday of the month from 7:00-9:00pm.

Believing that God calls us to friendship and service in a variety of ways, retreats, the Christmas Eve play, the "Miracle Singers" and involvement in the life of the parish are offered to all parish children and teens.  The Sweater and Sweatshirt Drive and the Lenten Shoe Collection during Lent are two examples of our out-reach ministries.
