The Consortium of Catholic Academies (CCA) is committed to delivering exceptional academic, social, and financial support to 800+ dynamic and diverse students.

Consisting of four inner-city schools in the Archdiocese of Washington (Sacred Heart School, St. Francis Xavier Academy, St. Anthony Catholic School, and St. Thomas More Catholic Academy), each with its own unique identity, CCA students learn and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.

At the Consortium of Catholic Academies we believe:

• Education is a collaborative responsibility. Success requires the commitment and participation of the Archdiocese, executive leadership of the Consortium of Catholic Academies as well as pastors, principals, staff, family and community.


• All children can learn. Consortium of Catholic Academies schools combines high expectations with the capacity to identify and develop the unique talents and strengths of each student.


• Good teachers are essential. They must be professionally qualified, well supported and personally capable of helping the whole child to develop.


• Consortium schools are Catholic schools. Integration of the faith through curriculum, and implementation by faculty and staff, will inspire students to reach their academic and personal potential.


• Learning facilities must be efficient, functional, and safe and secure and respect the dignity of each student.


• The long term sustainability of the Consortium of Catholic Academies schools will be achieved by budgets that reflect the mission and are multi-year in scope, transparent and results-oriented.


• Financial assistance serves to optimize the availability of Catholic education.

The Consortium of Catholic Academies (CCA) is a non-profit organization supporting students of four inner-city Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Washington.
