The Cabrini Institute

Founded through a partnership with the Diocese of Manchester in 2020, Schoolhouse Educational and Therapeutic Services, LLC. designs, develops, and delivers high-quality, faith-based teacher formation through coursework and professional development. Our programs support educators seeking Diocesan Certification or New Hampshire Educator Licensure and those called to serve in Catholic schools throughout New Hampshire.

The Story of Mother Cabrini

*Full time educators within the Diocese of Manchester should inquire with school leaders about participation in Cabrini courses and residency options.

"Study well the personalities, the strengths of the students, because one cannot presume they are all the same. Treat each one according to their capacity and the gifts they have received from God."

~Mother Francis Xavier Cabrini

Cabrini Institute Courses

The Cabrini Institute courses are 8–12 weeks in length and offered in asynchronous or hybrid formats. Courses are facilitated by highly qualified Schoolhouse professors and designed as small-group experiences, led by Professors from the Schoolhouse Educational and Therapeutic Services team.

With prior approval, courses may be used for professional development, applied toward a Diocese of Manchester Teaching Certificate, or serve as a pathway for a site-based path to New Hampshire teacher licensure. Courses are delivered in three sessions—fall, winter, and spring—to support teachers throughout the school year.

Course content focuses on strengthening teachers’ assessment and instructional practices, equipping educators to be informed, reflective, and responsive to the needs of their students.

The Cabrini Institute continues to play a fundamental role in making the certification process manageable for our teachers. The hands-on approach of the courses makes for meaningful learning for our faculty, as they incorporate the skills they acquire in their own classrooms. Cabrini’s instructors take the time to build meaningful relationships with faculty, supporting them and guiding in their path to certification. The Cabrini courses are interactive and highly personalized, allowing each teacher to continue to grow and flourish on their professional journey.
