What Charlottesville Catholic Schl does

Charlottesville Catholic School is a private, nonprofit Catholic elementary and middle school serving students from junior kindergarten through eighth grade at a single campus at 1205 Pen Park Road in Charlottesville, Virginia. The school is classified as a 501(c)(3) corporation and operates under the canonical and administrative auspices of the Diocese of Richmond Office of Catholic Schools, while running its day-to-day academic operations independently. It is nationally recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School (2014 designation) and reports standardized testing scores ranking among the highest in the country, with most graduates moving on to advanced-level coursework at the top of their subsequent high school classes.

The school's core product is a faith-integrated K-8 academic program organized around three pillars — Christ, Community, and Scholars — that combines rigorous instruction with Catholic formation, character development, leadership, and required community service hours. The academic core is supplemented by enrichment offerings including a STEAM Aftercare Program, a competitive athletics program (the "Archangels"), visual arts, music and drama, physical education, and a Learning Lab. The institution is open to families of all faiths.

Charlottesville Catholic School generates revenue through two primary streams: recurring tuition from enrolled families and recurring charitable contributions via an annual fund, capital campaigns (notably the Light My Path Capital Campaign targeting $3,000,000 for a new Community Life Center with Summer 2026 construction), the CCS 100 donor program, Buy a Brick donations, and other named giving programs. The school uses RenWeb/FACTS for admissions and family communications, My Hot Lunchbox for lunch ordering, Square for Spirit Wear merchandise, Google Calendar for scheduling, and Polar Engraving for the brick campaign, with tuition assistance administered through the Catholic Education Fund to support enrollment across economic backgrounds.
