The Consortium of Catholic Academies (CCA) is a non-profit organization who is committed to delivering exceptional academic, spiritual, social - emotional, and financial support to 700+ dynamic and diverse students across four inner-city Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Washington. Each CCA school provides a safe and nurturing environment for pre-kindergarten through eighth grade boys and girls to learn, grow, and thrive. For 30 years, the CCA's central office helps oversee financial and administrative need to allow principals to focus on supporting and guiding scholars and educators.
