Transforming Lives Through Catholic Education
The Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Atlanta are committed to providing an exceptional education that forms the whole person – spiritually, morally, intellectually and physically – in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
A Catholic education prepares students to succeed and become productive members of society. Through daily prayer, service to others and participation in the sacraments, students grow in their relationship with God and develop the foundation to lead lives of purpose and integrity.

Financial Aid
The Archdiocese of Atlanta is continuously working to ensure that a quality Catholic education is available to as many families as possible.
Sources of financial aid include state programs, archdiocesan grants, local financial aid and scholarships. Contact the admissions office of any school for financial aid information.
State financial assistance opportunities include:
Georgia Goal Scholarship Program is the official student scholarship organization (SSO) for schools sponsored by the Archdiocese of Atlanta and the Diocese of Savannah. All students receiving GOAL awards have demonstrated financial need as determined by a third-party analysis of a family’s ability to pay tuition.
Georgia Promise Scholarship empowers families to pursue education programs through nonpublic schooling, including private school and home study. Eligible families who choose to leave low performing public schools would receive a scholarship to use for private school tuition and fees, textbooks, tutoring services or other approved expenses.
Georgia Special Needs Scholarship provides scholarships for students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan. Learn about our Open Doors program that serves students with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
