San Juan Diego Catholic High School vs. St. Michael's Catholic Academy

San Juan Diego Catholic High School opened in 2002 after Archbishop Gregory Aymond recognized the need for Catholic, college, preparatory education in Austin.

Students participate in the corporate internship program (CIP) where they work entry-level positions in the corporate world to earn part of their tuition.

Students intern at some of Austin`s top employers including Seton Healthcare Family, Dell, IBM, St. Edward`s University and Graves Dougherty Hearon and Moody.

Through the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the 21st Century Grant (CCLC), SJDCHS students are able to participate in a number of extra-curricular activities including athletics, after-school clubs, and tutoring. In addition, parents are also able to participate in programs such as conditioning club.

For more than 30 years, St. Michael's Catholic Academy has been committed to serving families who want an exceptional college preparatory education delivered in a small school environment: a full complement of academic courses, including as many as 20 Advanced Placement classes, outstanding arts and athletics, a diverse and talented student body and engaged parent community, and an outstanding faculty dedicated to ensuring each St. Michael`s student reaches his or her fullest potential morally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually.
