Mission, Beliefs and Values

We’re building on a tradition that began 110 years ago, and today we serve infants 6 weeks 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.
