LOOKING FOR A CATHOLIC SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD?

If you live in Portland or the West End of Louisville and want your child to receive a Catholic education, we’re here to help. CCC walks alongside families to guide you through the enrollment process, provide financial assistance, and ensure your child thrives in school.

  • Community Catholic Center partners with many different schools within the Archdiocese of Louisville. Each school has its own unique offerings to students. We encourage prospective families to consider what’s most important to their child’s education when choosing a Catholic school. These priorities will be different for each family, and each student. It’s important to explore multiple schools and experience what each school has to offer. Explore our partner schools.

  • Catholic schools sometimes have limited space for new students. This is a benefit, as class sizes are often smaller than public school, but it’s also why we encourage families to enroll their child(ren) as soon as they have made a decision on a school.

  • All Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Louisville use the FACTS tuition assistance application to determine need based on information provided in the application. In order to receive tuition assistance from CCC and any other sources, completing the FACTS application is required. We are happy to help you with this process if needed. All parents will be expected to pay a portion of their students’ tuition assistance. CCC is not a scholarship program and does not offer full tuition coverage. You can apply online here as soon as you have chosen a school.
