Opening Doors to
Catholic Education

“We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

About One Classroom

One Classroom accompanies families and schools by providing the financial support, training, and resources needed to ensure every learner — regardless of ability — has the opportunity to belong and thrive in Catholic education.

Through this work, grounded in faith, we believe students of all abilities will find a place of belonging and communion within Catholic schools.

Why Inclusion Matters

The foundation of a fruitful childhood is knowing you belong. However, students with disabilities and learning differences often experience academic, social-emotional, and even spiritual barriers to accessing true inclusion in Catholic schools.

That’s why One Classroom was founded in 2015 to ensure that every learner — regardless of ability — has the opportunity to belong and thrive in Catholic education.

The convergence of our school grants, professional development, parent & family, and community engagement efforts is transforming Catholic education across Eastern Missouri so that students of all abilities may find a place of belonging and communion within Catholic schools.

Thank you to our 2026 mission-level supporters!
