Guardian Angels School

What Guardian Angels School does

Guardian Angels School is a private, non-profit Catholic parish school serving students from preschool through eighth grade at a single campus in the Mt. Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio (6539 Beechmont Ave). The school is affiliated with St. Gregory the Great Parish and operates under Principal Corey J. Stoops and Pastor Father Steve Angi, holding a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School of Excellence designation that signals national-level academic credibility.

The core product is a faith-integrated K-8 academic program supplemented by enrichment offerings including the Halo Bell Gifted and Enrichment Programs, Science Enrichment, Everybody Counts disability awareness, performing arts (band, choral, theater), athletics (managed by GA Boosters), extended day care, summer programs, chess club, scouts, and youth ministry coordinated with the parish. The technology stack is composed of standard, third-party educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: Renaissance Place (Accelerated Reader, Accelerated Math, Math Facts in a Flash) with Renaissance Home Connect for parents; Rediker PlusPortals for the parent/student portal; Follett Destiny for the library catalog; Pearson SuccessNet for Grades 4-8 science; FACTS Tuition Payments and My School Bucks for billing; and EZ School Apps for the Kaldi's-provided hot lunch program. A campus-wide safety architecture deploys five AEDs.

The business model is tuition-driven with ancillary fundraising. Revenue streams include K-8 tuition, separate preschool tuition, a PTA membership fee of $25 per family, fundraising events (Parents Night Out at $75/person, 365 Lotto at $20/ticket, Penny Fair, sales), and affiliate-style community rewards (Kroger Community Rewards NPO #80200, digital Box Tops for Education). Tuition rates are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct family enrollment with personal tours during school hours and informational coffees for prospective K-8 families; separate processes exist for preschool registration. The customer base is local families seeking Catholic education in the Cincinnati area, with no enterprise or non-family customer segments identified, and the institution is wholly dependent on continued family enrollment, parish support, and community fundraising.
