Built for real decisions

More useful than a list of blue links.

Google can tell you what is nearby. This directory helps you build a shortlist, compare meaningful facts and trace each listing back to its source.

01

Distance that makes sense

Use your location, scan the map and open turn-by-turn directions without retyping an address.

02

Filter by grade level

Separate elementary, middle and high-school options instead of hunting through mixed results.

03

Sources you can inspect

School records show their source and verification level. Missing facts stay missing rather than being guessed.

04

A correction path

Families and school leaders can submit evidence-backed updates for human review.

Our data promise

Transparent enough to trust. Humble enough to correct.

Authoritative foundations

Government education registers and current Catholic education directories anchor each country collection.

No invented details

A blank is more honest than a confident guess. Tuition, admissions and programs must be confirmed with the school.

Freshness is visible

Each school page explains what was verified, when it was seen and how to submit evidence for a change.

Common questions

What families should know.

Is this an official Catholic Church directory?

No. It is an independent research directory. We use authoritative public sources, but families should confirm admissions, tuition, programs and schedules directly with each school.

How do I find Catholic schools closest to me?

The homepage asks permission to use your location. If you approve, it immediately loads mapped schools sorted by approximate distance. You can also use “Use my current location” or search by city or postcode.

Are Google ratings and opening hours included?

When an authorized Google Places connection is available, current Places information can be shown live with required attribution. We do not scrape or permanently copy Google data.

Can a school update its listing?

Yes. Use the correction form and include an official school or diocesan source. Proposed changes are reviewed before publication.
