The school is affiliated with St. Rita Parish and maintains governance through a School Board and active PTO.

The school's core offering is a comprehensive academic program from Pre-K through 8th grade, supplemented by special area classes (Art, Music, Computer, Spanish, PE), a Chromebook One-to-One program (K-8, with take-home privileges for grades 7-8), and educational support services including a learning coordinator, math/reading interventionists, and after-school tutoring via Catapult Learning.

Pre-K tuition is $6,771. After-school care, summer camp, and bus transportation are priced as separate subscription or unit-priced services. The go-to-market approach is sales-led through a dedicated Enrollment Officer (also serving as Spanish Speaking Liaison) who guides families through inquiry, tours, and enrollment, supplemented by community engagement through the PTO and parish network. The school also partners with the Catholic Education Foundation for tuition assistance, achieving a 100% award approval rate for applicants over three years.
