What's the Value of a Catholic Education?

Choosing a Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia means never having to choose between your children’s academic enrichment and their moral and spiritual development.

Our Catholic high schools and elementary schools are part of a centuries-long tradition of academic excellence that continues to grow stronger with each passing year. In the latest round of TerraNova testing, our students' test scores were well above the national TerraNova average in all content areas.

Most importantly, in our Catholic schools, students receive this superior academic foundation in safe surroundings where qualified, dedicated teachers also instill moral and spiritual values like compassion, respect for life, and a close relationship with Christ.

That’s the true value of a Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Your children are worth it.
