We Believe In Catholic Schools

The Catholic elementary and high schools of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are part of a centuries-long tradition of academic excellence. Yet, perhaps now more than ever, the future leaders of our communities and institutions need the unique benefits of a faith-based Catholic education.

We are committed to giving our students the tools, skills, and guidance they need to not only overcome 21st-century challenges, but also to flourish intellectually, morally, and spiritually.

Outstanding TerraNova scores, 15 U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, and the very latest technology and teaching techniques characterize today’s Archdiocesan Catholic schools. All in safe, faith-focused surroundings, where the most qualified teachers instill moral and spiritual values that will last a lifetime.

To understand the true value of a Catholic education, visit one of our schools in your area today to see for yourself just how much a Catholic education has to offer your children.

superintendents The start of this new academic year brings with it a renewed enthusiasm for Catholic Education as we focus on building up and building out!

As our 144 Catholic elementary, secondary, and special needs schools open their doors to welcome a new generation of students, we will have the opportunity to build up the potential inside of every child while building out their horizons and strengthening their God-given abilities.

Just as the entrance to each one of our schools states, "Let it be known that Jesus Christ is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever-present teacher in all its classes, the model of its faculty, and the inspiration for its students," we will work together to educate and shape the leaders of tomorrow in his image and likeness.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our administrators, teachers, and school families for their continued passion and support as we wish everyone a happy and safe new school year!
