ST CATHERINE OF SIENA CATHOLIC SCHOOL

What ST CATHERINE OF SIENA CATHOLIC SCHOOL does

St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School is a private K-8 Catholic educational institution located at 1618 Ben King Road in Kennesaw, Georgia, operating under the oversight of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. The school serves approximately 300-400 students across Kindergarten through 8th grade, with an average class size of 17 and a 1:1 technology device program for all students. Its faculty of approximately 21 staff members includes 3 Dominican Sisters of Nashville who provide spiritual and academic leadership, and 54% of faculty hold advanced degrees. The student body is 97% Catholic, drawn from 20 parishes across the greater Atlanta area, making faith-integrated education a defining feature rather than an add-on.

The school offers a tiered academic program (Primary, Intermediate, and Middle School) supplemented by arts, athletics, library/media services, extracurricular activities, guidance counseling, and extended care. Its core technology footprint is the FACTS (formerly RenWeb) student information system, which handles admissions, tuition management, family communications, and the parent portal. Revenue is generated through annual tuition (subscription/billed annually), an annual fund drive targeting 100% community participation, a gala and auction fundraiser, and state-channeled scholarship programs (Georgia GOAL, Georgia Promise, FACTS Grant & Aid). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families inquire via the website, schedule tours, and apply through RenWeb in a selective enrollment process.

The institution operates as a non-profit under the Archdiocese of Atlanta, supported by the affiliated St. Catherine of Siena Parish and the SCS Preschool, which functions as a direct enrollment pipeline. Donations and operational grants flow through the Advancement Department, supplemented by retail-linked fundraising programs (Kroger Community Rewards, Publix Partner, Box Tops, Coca-Cola Give). The school holds Cognia accreditation and is affiliated with the National Catholic Educational Association.

Regional players

• Blessed Trinity Catholic High School: Blessed Trinity is a Catholic high school in Roswell, GA (Archdiocese of Atlanta). It is a downstream peer — St. Catherine of Siena K-8 graduates would be candidates for Blessed Trinity or other Catholic high schools, making it a key feeder/competitor for the same Catholic family segment.
• Wheeler High School (MAGNET): Wheeler High School in Marietta, GA (Cobb County School District) is a top-rated public magnet option that competes for the same high-achieving northwest Atlanta families. While publicly funded, it competes with private K-8 schools on outcome metrics and college preparation.

Direct peers

• Notre Dame Academy: Notre Dame Academy is a Catholic K-8 school in Duluth, GA, also within the Archdiocese of Atlanta. It is a direct peer — same faith tradition, same K-8 grade span, same archdiocese oversight, and serves the same broader Catholic family market in metro Atlanta.
• St. John the Evangelist Catholic School: St. John the Evangelist is a Catholic K-8 school in Hapeville, GA, within the Archdiocese of Atlanta. It is a direct peer, operating under the same archdiocese standards and serving Catholic families with comparable K-8 programming and tuition model.
• Mount Paran Christian School: Mount Paran Christian is a private, faith-based K-12 school in Marietta, GA, just minutes from Kennesaw.

Others

Broad incumbents

• Holy Innocents' Episcopal School: Holy Innocents' is a private, faith-based (Episcopal) K-12 school in Atlanta, GA. It competes for the same upper-middle-class Atlanta families seeking values-based education, with comparable tuition and academic rigor, but at a larger scale and broader ecumenical orientation.
• Marist School: Marist School is a Catholic college-preparatory school in Atlanta, GA (K-12), serving families in the same metropolitan area and Archdiocese of Atlanta.
