Our Schools

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.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia encompasses 123 Catholic elementary schools, 17 high schools, and 4 schools for special education. Extending beyond the city of Philadelphia, the Archdiocese spans the surrounding counties and is divided into six vicariates: Bucks County, Chester County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia North, and Philadelphia South. These diverse areas­–each with their own unique demographics and traditions–make the Archdiocese of Philadelphia the culturally rich community that it is.
