How do families pay for Catholic school in Atlanta?

Most combine school aid with a tax-credit scholarship. The archdiocese steers parish subsidy money to financial aid, and SSOs such as GRACE Scholars and GOAL fund scholarships at Catholic schools.

Do Atlanta Catholic schools accept the Promise Scholarship?

Some do. 14 of the 19 Catholic schools in our directory are on the 2026-27 Promise participating list. A family has to be zoned to a listed public school to use it.

Is Catholic high school different?

The aid model is the same, and juniors and seniors can add Dual Enrollment courses paid by the state, up to 30 semester hours.
