St. Anthony Catholic High School

What St. Anthony Catholic High School does

St. Anthony Catholic High School is a private, nonprofit Catholic college-preparatory high school founded in 1903 by the Oblates and currently operating under the Archdiocese of San Antonio from a single campus at 3200 McCullough Ave., San Antonio, TX. It serves domestic families seeking faith-based college-preparatory education, transfer students, and a 20+ year international student program, with outcomes including a 100% graduation rate, 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio, 14 varsity sports, and 15+ student clubs. The school is a founding member of the Brainpower Connection, a K-12 network partnered with the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW), enabling dual credit coursework, on-the-spot college admissions, and exclusive scholarships (27 students earned $1.975M in UIW scholarships at a single event).

The core product is a four-year integrated Catholic education combining college-preparatory academics, faith formation, athletics, and performing arts. Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition ($13,078 domestic; $13,483 total invoice including fees) and international student tuition ($33,327-$38,937 with homestay), layered with auxiliary streams: summer camps, athletics events, theatrical productions (e.g., the 2026 'Wizard of Oz'), facility rental, and a multi-tiered fundraising apparatus (Yellow Jacket Tee-Off, Garnet & Grey Gala, Big Give, giving societies). Distribution is direct via an in-house enrollment office, online application through FACTS, campus tours, and a dedicated international advisor managing F-1 visa and homestay logistics. Significant discounts and scholarships (military, sibling, UIW employee, alumni, Brainpower, merit, Top 10%, CCVI 46% reduction) compress net tuition realization.

The school operates with no proprietary technology platform and no public AI capability; it relies on third-party vendors (FACTS, CashNet, Edlio, Odyssey, The Social Institute) for administrative and curricular functions. It is affiliated with the Archdiocese of San Antonio for governance and is funded through tuition, donations, and fundraising — not equity capital. The new Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA/ESA) program, supported through the Odyssey portal, represents a material new funding channel that can offset up to $10,474 per student in tuition.
