For over a century, Catholic schools have educated children in the most vulnerable and impoverished communities in United States. Catholic education empowers families with a pathway out of poverty by providing a faith based academically rigorous curriculum that focuses on the full development of the human person and community values of hard work, faith, respect, and self-worth.
There is no system of schools — public, private, parochial or charter — that has comparable outcomes in educating demographically disadvantaged children.
98% of low-income Catholic school students graduate on time from high school, and 98% of that group goes on to college.
Historically Catholic schools produce graduates who are more civically engaged, more tolerant of diverse views, and more committed to service as adults.

We were so proud to see the Principal of St David of Wales School in Richmond, Kenny Farr II, on Ellen DeGeneres on February 8, 2021!
As we look forward to the 2021/2022 school year, we know that we will be able to provide all of the best aspects of Catholic education – excellent academic experiences, a wide variety of student activities, and most importantly, a regular encounter with Our Lord Jesus Christ through the sacraments, prayer, and religious education. That said, we have not completely emerged from the pandemic and will follow State and County health guidance in addition to proven practices to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our Catholic school community members.
