Honoring Our Tradition
Inspiring Our Future
The
message of Christ, "Let the little children come to Me,
for such is the kingdom of Heaven," is the motivating
factor which sustains and fulfills Mater Dei's mission to Catholic
Education.
We are a
K-8 elementary school, located in the heart of Topeka,
KS. We serve approximately 250 students
from a wide variety of ethnic and socio-economic
backgrounds. Mater Dei Catholic School was established
in 2006 by the merging of Assumption and Holy Name Schools. We
boast the proud traditions of our former schools, founded by the
Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth and dating back to 1884. Today,
we are enthusiastically embracing the challenges
of providing excellence in values-based education.

Archdiocesan Mission Statement
The mission of our Catholic School
System in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, in partnership
