OVERVIEW
St. Agatha Academy is a private Catholic parish school located at 244 South Main Street, Winchester, KY 40391, serving children from Montessori Preschool & Kindergarten through Grade 8.

Its mission is to provide Christ‑centered, academically excellent education that develops students with active and creative minds, compassion for others, courage to act on their beliefs, and a commitment to generous service.

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE

• The school features a Montessori program for the youngest learners and transitions into a classical education model in the elementary and middle grades, integrating Christian faith across disciplines and emphasizing logic, Latin, history, and literature.

• Small size and personalized attention: According to profile data, the school enrolls approximately 146 students in grades PK‑8 with a student‑teacher ratio around 14 : 1, which supports individual student nurturing.

• Strong faith‑community integration: Daily prayer, religious formation, service projects, a unified K‑8 campus and Montessori start combine to create a holistic educational environment.

• A legacy school (founded by the Sisters of Divine Providence) with history and tradition rooted in Winchester, offering a tighter‑knit community feel than larger schools.

• Tuition assistance programs are available including via the state’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) for eligible preschool children and internal tuition‑aid funds for K–8 families, helping make Catholic education more accessible.

• Conveniently located in Winchester, the school offers families in Clark County and the surrounding region a Catholic K‑8 option with continuity from early childhood to middle school.
