The CUES School System consists of three inner-city schools: Sacred Heart, All Saints, and Holy Name. CUES schools provide excellence in education with special concern for the entire family. The values-based education uses blended learning, an approach combining online education and traditional classroom methods, and offers support for students and families beyond the classroom.
This year the CUES School System will serve more than 600 youth and their families. A majority of these students, pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, have already faced the pain that not having the economic means to handle their basic daily needs has wrecked upon their family and extended family structures.
CUES Student and Family Support Services directly benefit families facing socio-economic problems by connecting them to resources in the Omaha metropolitan community. Families have been connected to a variety of services including meals, transportation, afterschool programming, and financial literacy education. “We break through language barriers, cultural differences, and economic challenges to help our students and families,” said Jim Swanson, student and family support services director.
With the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CUES School System is expanding its technology-based classroom model. The digital divide is a fundraising initiative, led by the CUES Fund, to provide technology to students so they can participate in e-learning.
The CUES School System is supported by private donations through the CUES Fund. Please visit their website to learn more.
