CCA History

For more than 27 years, the Consortium of Catholic Academies (CCA) has been committed to delivering exceptional academic, spiritual, social - emotional, and financial support to 600+ dynamic and diverse students in the Washington, DC area.

In 1995, the Archdiocese of Washington identified a need for additional support at several of its Catholic schools in Washington, DC. In 1997, a consortium of schools with a central office to oversee financial and administrative needs was established. Under the consortium model, principals have more time to support and guide staff and students. 

The Monumental Scholars Fund (MSF), support from Speaker of the House John Boehner, a committed board of directors, and generous donors led fundraising for the CCA until August 2020, when the CCA and MSF merged.
