St. Paul VI

Live your faith in your daily lives, at home and in school; and show true Christian love to your schoolmates. Be patient and understanding, pray for each other, help each other…and strive for Christian unity with all.
For over forty years, St. Paul VI Catholic High School has invited families to share in our mission of educating young men and women in faith. As you explore our website, I hope that you will be encouraged and inspired by what you see and read. Our students, faculty, and staff are grounded in the tenets of Catholic Social Teachings and the dignity of the human person. Through our thoughts, words, and actions, we are called to follow Jesus’ teachings, sharing in the hope and peace that this brings in our own lives and in the lives of others.

We provide an appropriately rigorous academic curriculum that allows students to explore a variety of subjects at four levels as they prepare for college. Recently, we added nine new electives to our curriculum that encourage students to delve into topics such as gardening, sewing, woodworking, robotics, entrepreneurship, and artificial intelligence. 

Our extracurricular programming is extensive. We offer over 60 student-led clubs and organizations. Paul VI also offers students the opportunity to play various sports at  competitive levels. PVI participates in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) and the Virginia Independent School Athletic Association (VISAA)

At Paul VI, we believe that all students are capable of achieving their goals. We have been meeting the needs of diverse learners for over 25 years through our Options Program. This program provides students with intellectual and developmental disabilities access to an individualized, inclusive, student-centered Catholic education.

In addition to Options, our Exceptional Learning program offers opportunities for all students through its cognitive strategies curriculum, co-teaching, and small group instruction. 

Our Catholic community continues to grow in grace and wisdom. We strive to be an authentic and affordable Catholic school that partners with the community by providing a quality education, serving others, and living in communion. Thank you for your interest in St. Paul VI Catholic High School. 

Peace and blessings,
