Cass St. School thanks the community for all of the support and collaboration that improves teaching and learning. Student understanding is enhanced when classroom lessons can be strengthened through real-world experiences.

Cass St. School is within blocks of Brady Street. The school integrates perfectly into the eclectic array of Brady Street homes, housing, boutiques, ethnic restaurants, stores (hardware, food, pharmacy), specialty and service shops (coffee, tattoos and salon) as well as a Laundromat, firehouse, and churches.

With a beautiful playground that captures the culture and personality of its surrounding community, the school is a great place for fun and exercise.
