Welcome to the Diocese of Orlando Catholic Schools!
Dear Current and Prospective Families,
It is my great honor and joy to welcome you to the Catholic schools of the Diocese of Orlando. Whether you are already part of our family or considering joining us, we are delighted to share the many blessings and opportunities our schools provide.
Our schools are vibrant, diverse, and innovative communities, dedicated to educating the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Much like a second family, we provide a nurturing environment where students thrive academically, spiritually, and socially. With the support of certified and caring teachers and a dedicated staff, we empower students with the tools and skills they need to succeed in school, beyond school, and throughout their lives.
At the heart of our mission is the commitment to building strong, faith-filled communities that unite students, families, and educators. Through rigorous academics, faith formation, and a focus on service, our schools prepare students to be leaders, innovators, and compassionate individuals who positively impact the world while living out their Catholic faith.
As Scripture reminds us: "Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it" (Proverbs 22:6). This guiding principle inspires us to provide a foundation for lifelong learning, faith, and service that supports our students at every stage of life.
Parents choose the Diocese of Orlando Catholic Schools because of our commitment to excellence in academic programs, faith-based values, and community building. From innovative teaching methods and advanced technology to extracurricular activities and STREAM initiatives, our schools offer a holistic approach to education that prepares students for success.
Thank you for entrusting your child’s education to the Diocese of Orlando Catholic Schools or for considering becoming part of our family. I encourage you to explore all that our schools have to offer at orlandodioceseschools.org and discover the difference a Catholic education can make. Together, we will form future leaders, compassionate citizens, and faithful individuals who will shape a brighter tomorrow.
