An accreditation, teacher certification, and support organization for independent Roman Catholic schools.
The mission of the National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools (NAPCIS) is the solidarity, strength and security of small schools teaching the Catholic Faith. NAPCIS seeks to assist in providing for the spiritual and academic growth of our nation’s Catholic school children, all directed to the greater honor and glory of God and the perpetuity of His Church on Earth.
Fulfillment of this purpose comes through consistent and intelligent adherence to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and from the implementation of reasonable and demonstrated practices of education.
The Lumen Christi NAPCIS accredidation is renewed annually to ensure our students receive academic and spiritual instruction that meet the highest Catholic standards.
