Mission, Beliefs and Values

We’re building on a tradition that began 110 years ago, and today we serve students from 16 months through Grade 12. Cherished experiences of faith and community, excellence in education and attention to each individual student are the hallmarks of a Cotter education. From across the globe or down the street, our students represent all faiths.
