The Guardian Catholic Schools have created a legacy of leaders – leaders of families, communities and businesses. We believe that every child deserves equal access to a quality Catholic education. It’s our vision that “all children within the Diocese of St. Augustine who desire, but cannot afford, a Catholic education will have the opportunity regardless of the neighborhood in which they live, the economic status of their families or their religious beliefs.” And we do this by offering a focused and challenging curriculum in a caring, positive environment. Whether you pay full tuition or are granted a scholarship, Guardian Catholic Schools offer the best for your child.
