All early learning/elementary/middle schools in the Diocese of Orlando:

  • are accredited by The Florida Catholic Conference (FCC) and must undergo re-accreditation every 5-7 years.

  • meet or exceed the State of Florida educational requirements.

  • are certified by the Florida Department of Children Services.

  • are evaluated annually using the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools, a comprehensive set of standards examining Mission and Catholic Identity, Governance and Leadership, Academic Excellence, and Operational Vitality. Seventy benchmarks provide observable, measurable descriptors for each standard. (catholicschoolstandards.org)
