About Us
At Bishop McNamara, we prepare students for the next step whether that be kindergarten, junior high, high school, college, or beyond.
We do this by educating the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. Your child is an individual and we know that character building is an essential part of their education.
Our Past
At Bishop McNamara, we're proud of our history because it has resulted in meaningful traditions that have shaped who we are as a school family today.
Our Present
After several years of discussion, research, and planning the 2016-17 academic year marked the inaugural year for Bishop McNamara Catholic School. Bishop McNamara serves students in grades Pre-K through 12. Although one school, there are actually three sites:
- BMCS Bradley Site (PreK3- 5th Grade)
- BMCS Bourbonnais Site (PreK3- 5th Grade)
- BMCS Kankakee Site (Grades 6-12)
Our Future
Our efforts will be consistently, generously, and wholeheartedly directed towards a quality Catholic education and the success of all our students. A Strategic Plan is in place to ensure that the legacy, history, and commitment to our student success continues for years to come. Through an extensive evaluation of the current environment of BMCS, we have developed goals and objectives that we feel address both the areas of opportunity, growth, and the evolution of Catholic education.
