The community support gives our schools legitimacy of unprecedented historical importance in Jacksonville.
The Guardian Catholic Schools has 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." By offering a focused and challenging curriculum in a caring, positive environment; Guardian Catholic Schools offer the best for your child.
