Prime Location

We are located at 1035 S. Kenwood Avenue in the heart of Canton near Boston and O'Donnell Streets. Our school is easily accessed from both Interstate 95 and downtown Baltimore.  We not only have many families from our immediate community,   we also have many families from the suburbs who work in Baltimore and find SCCS to be the best choice for their child.  We have before and after-care.  Transportation to and from school is provided by parents.

Positive School Environment

To foster a positive school environment where all students are educated in a safe and caring atmosphere, all Archdiocesan schools will follow established procedures for prevention and intervention for bullying, harassment or intimidation.

Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS) has been implemented in every Archdiocesan elementary and high school to enhance academic and social behavior outcomes for all students.

St. Casimir School has been  recognized with the Bronze Award for  PBIS.
