West Roxbury, MA — Catholic Memorial, a college-preparatory school for boys in grades 7 to 12, today announced that they are the recipients of a major capital grant from Boston’s Yawkey Foundations. The $2.5 million grant will provide a significant boost for the school’s capital campaign to build The Center for Integrated and Applied Learning, enhancing its strong liberal arts and progressive educational curriculum. The hands-on experiential learning approach was introduced to Catholic Memorial three years ago, and with the Yawkey grant, the expansion will provide a space which is specifically designed for these programs and will enhance types of innovation and problem solving which can be introduced to the students.
