Scholarship Application

Testimonial

“Our four children began their education St Cyril Catholic school. We were aware that Salpointe is known as one of the best high schools in the state and we are very fortunate that our children can study here. They benefit from a strong academic and moral environment, an experience that makes them better individuals. Thanks to CTSO, our two sets of twins can receive a solid education and develop excellent life skills. It is our hope that in the future, they provide the same for others”

– Navarro Family
