Catholic Schools of the World

Catholic primary and secondary schools worldwide, each geolocated and linked to its diocese, across 134 countries. US coverage is the authoritative NCES Private School Survey (5,028 schools with enrollment, level and parochial/diocesan/order type); the rest of the world is compiled from OpenStreetMap where a Catholic denomination is recorded. The openly-documented set, not the full ~200,000-school global census. Cut from the same living record that powers Catholic Intelligence.

  • Typed and diocese-linked records
