My wife and I send all our children to this amazing school! We've been with the school for over seven years and the school keeps getting better. Our children excel here, they love the school, and they have grown so much in their Catholic faith. The scholars attend Mass every day and the academics are excellent. It's by far the best Classical Catholic Education in the San Antonio and surrounding area. The administration, faculty and staff communicate very well with the families; keeping us well informed of what is happening. The school has great Safe Return and Remote Learning programs, plus user friendly online tools. The music program is rebuilding, but still amazing! The campus is beautiful and we`re building out our new school building. Being a family here is being part of a bigger family. Not only are the families great, but the administration, faculty and staff here genuinely care about our children, as well as the parents, the children's well being and greater good, and they are so motivated each and every day to form the children into the best Catholic scholars anywhere. Lastly, and very importantly, we love this school and what it is doing for our children and our family as a whole. We highly recommend looking into The Atonement Catholic Academy and the amazing things they do. If you`re serious about your Catholic faith and a classical Catholic education, then this IS the place for you!

My children all attended this school and had an excellent education and fantastic faith formation. The teachers really go above and beyond, and the administration devotes quite a good amount of attention to be sure that the teachers are all faithful Catholics, well formed in their own faith.
