Introducing ACE Welcome Grants

Two-year grants at three of our schools for Pre-K through 7th grade

The Catholic school difference is real.
We educate the whole child - mind, body, and spirit.

Now, through the support of ACE, the Advancement of Catholic Education, these educational benefits of Catholic education are available to as many as 10 students enrolling this fall at each of these outstanding schools.

For over 160 years, Catholic schools in the Diocese of Nashville have served as a beacon of learning and service in Middle Tennessee. The Catholic school climate, mission and purpose positively impact student achievement and attendance. Students in Catholic schools regularly demonstrate higher academic achievement than their public school peers from similar backgrounds.

Discover the difference yourself!
