For more than 40 years CISE has served children in Cincinnati’s underserved neighborhoods. Founded in 1980 by three city leaders of different faiths, the CISE mission is to transform the lives of urban children living in poverty by providing access to a strong Catholic education. This is done where it is needed most, in ten Cincinnati neighborhood schools funded by CISE. Research substantiates that a quality education is the most effective way to eliminate poverty. Our unique family of CISE-supported schools gives students, 94% facing poverty, access to a quality education. This caring and nurturing approach in an environment of respect, safety, and discipline will rewrite futures.
