Four Schools. One Shared Mission.
Quincy Catholic Schools
Serving families through four vibrant PreK–8 school communities in Quincy, Illinois:
Blessed Sacrament, St. Dominic, St. Francis, and St. Peter. Each school shares the same mission of faith-filled education while offering its own traditions, parish family, and community spirit. Families can feel confident choosing the school that feels like home. We also work closely with Quincy Notre Dame High School, encouraging students to continue their Catholic education journey and carry on Raider Pride.
What Families Can Expect
The Promise of a Catholic Education
Learning for Life
Investing in Tomorrow’s Leaders
Each day in our classrooms, students are growing in faith, confidence, and compassion.
Behind every opportunity is a community that believes in them — parents, parishioners, and supporters who make Catholic education in Quincy possible.
Together, we’re not just teaching students for today; we’re building the future of our Church, our city, and our world.
Families in Quincy benefit from a Catholic education community that supports students from early childhood through Quincy Notre Dame High School and beyond.
Faith in Every Classroom
Where Faith and Learning Grow Together
At Quincy Catholic Schools, faith isn’t an add-on — it’s the foundation. From morning prayer to service projects and Mass with classmates, students experience the joy of living their faith each day.
All faiths are welcome! Families of every background are invited to join our mission of educating children in faith, character, and academic excellence.
Every classroom is a place where curiosity and Catholic values meet, shaping students into compassionate leaders who live with purpose. Faith formation is rooted in daily learning and supported by strong parish communities.
