Kindergarten – 8th grade

Ensuring our Catholic schools remain accessible and affordable for families in the southeast Omaha area is our top priority. The entire Consortium team is keenly aware of the financial challenges facing families, and we are happy to discuss the opportunities for financial aid for the upcoming school year. We want to make this transformational experience of a Catholic education available to families regardless of their financial situation.
