St. Paul VI Catholic High School

What St. Paul VI Catholic High School does

St. Paul VI Catholic High School is a private Diocesan Catholic preparatory school serving grades 9-12 in Chantilly, Virginia. Founded in 1983 and operated under the Diocese of Arlington, the school enrolls over 1,200 students across a 68-acre campus with a 10:1 student-faculty ratio and an average class size of 17. It is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

The school delivers college preparatory academics through approximately 180 courses, including 80 Dual Enrollment, AP, and Honors classes, in partnership with Northern Virginia Community College for dual-enrollment credit. Academic delivery is supported by a one-to-one laptop program and the myPVI web portal for students and parents. Co-curricular offerings include 26 athletic teams competing in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) and the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA), a fine arts program with theatre, vocal, and instrumental music recognized by NCTE and Blue Ridge Glamies, and a campus ministry with retreats and mission trips. Outcome signals include a 100% graduation rate, $21 million in scholarships and awards offered to the Class of 2026, and 36,000+ annual community service hours.

The school's revenue model is composed of recurring tuition and fees supplemented by substantial fundraising. Over $3 million in scholarships and financial assistance is distributed annually to 46% of students, while tuition falls roughly $2,000 per student short of actual education cost—a gap bridged by The Fund for Paul VI, the Black & Gold Gala (~$200K annually), the Day of Giving (>$100K), and a tiered Community Partners Program. The institution is governed by a School Advisory Board under the Diocese of Arlington, with marketing and admissions executed through direct enrollment, campus visits, open houses, parent ambassadors, and a multi-channel digital presence.
