Catholic Schools in Columbus & Central Ohio
Parish elementaries and high schools of the Diocese of Columbus, plus independent Catholic schools in the four counties.
Funding note: Diocesan schools are chartered, so EdChoice and EdChoice Expansion apply; the diocese's need-based aid and the Emmaus Road SGO work on the balance.
