Central Catholic School, a Notre Dame ACE Academy, works with every family to make Catholic education possible for all through various forms of financial assistance. Students who qualify for the free or reduced school lunch program may automatically qualify for scholarships to attend Central Catholic School.
Financial aid comes from a variety of sources including state education vouchers and archdiocesan financial aid. Information on the eligibility requirements of the state education vouchers can be found via the Department of Education’s website.
