Catholic Schools

About our schools

All of our schools are fully accredited, all full-time teachers are fully certified, and our pre-schools and early learning centers are licensed with the state of Florida. Tuition rates are determined by each school. Contact a school's office directly for tution information or to ask about parish participation and sibling grants. Registration is conducted in early spring. Late registrations may be placed on a waiting list if registration is full. There are no neighborhood or residence requirements. Choose from any of our excellent schools to find the best fit for your family. All of our elementary schools offer extended day care.

The Office for Catholic Schools offers training for teachers and administrators, and we provide guidance on Catholic identity, governance, academics, and the business aspects of education. We also provide support for our schools and centers during their accreditation and staff certification processes. 

Our elementary schools are accredited by the Florida Catholic Conference and our high schools are accredited by AdvancED. The state of Florida recognizes our accreditation as a nonpublic school, similar to how a number of Christian, independent and private schools are recognized. Our Catholic schools participate in school choice programs in Florida. We take pride in our schools offering great academics and a safe environment for our families on a solid foundation of faith.

The Office for Catholic Schools office works closely with the Offices for Youth, Catechetics, Family and  Marriage, and Adult Faith Formation to ensure that the ministries of our schools and parishes are engaging our students and staff in a life-long faith journey. We provide a wide range of services and resources to our schools in order to provide the best education for our students:
