Experience The Difference

8th grade to follow fall 2027
- Teaching the Whole Student
  
  At St. Cecilia we understand that education goes far deeper than memorization. Intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual health are especially important during the life changes that come with the transition to middle school. That's why our educators strive to nurture growth in all areas of development.
  
  Small class sizes allow teachers to provide a more personalized education to students. Our various clubs offer a place for students to make friends and socialize. Students can also participate in sports at the public middle school pending approval.
- Education Rooted In Faith
  
  As students develop a deeper understanding of their faith, continuing their religious education opens the door to new appreciation of God's works.
  
  At St. Cecilia School, religion is part of everyday life. We teach it in our classrooms, attend all school mass together, and live out the faith by giving back to the community. Putting God at the center of all we do makes learning a joyful experience.
- Creating Future Leaders
  
  Housing both elementary and middle school allows us to offer more student leadership opportunities. Taking on leadership and volunteer roles helps students develop confidence, empowering them to become change makers in their communities.
  
  From 2024 to 2025, our middle school class initiated and completed multiple service projects including:
  Rosary Making and Donation
  Volunteering With Meals From The Heartland
  Making Treats for the Ames Animal Shelter
  Volunteering at the Special Olympics
