GROWING IN EXCELLENCE
In partnership with generous donors, we provide grants to PCEN network schools to support growth across six pillars of Excellence:
Catholic Culture
Affirming each child’s eternal dignity in Christ, fostering communion of faith through liturgy and daily life, and forming missionary witnesses in virtue and service
Governance
Ensuring ordered authority, fidelity to Catholic identity, and leadership that builds trust, cooperation, and stewardship
Sustainability
Strengthening finances, facilities, advancement, and organizational improvement to sustain the mission

Formation
Providing spiritual, intellectual, and parental formation rooted in prayer, wisdom, and partnership with families
Pedagogy
Advancing perennial Catholic pedagogy through clear instructional frameworks, coaching, and a culture of inquiry and mastery
Curriculum
Ordering learning around the soul’s formation, the Liberal Arts tradition, and a curriculum with clarity, coherence, and Catholic content
By supporting growth in these categories, grants help schools cultivate excellence and advance their membership level within <PCEN>—gaining access to additional funding, resources, and shared formation benefits. In this way, we both support and incentivize each applicant’s cultural vitality, formation, and fidelity to the mission.
While these topics serve to guide both applicants and donors, our approach is flexible. If a donor wishes to support a specific school initiative, SJHNI will work to ensure gifts are directed toward the greatest impact. To discuss your specific area of interest, please contact
