While many Catholics focus on what has been lost, something else has been growing—largely unnoticed.
Across more than 190 countries, students, parents, catechists, and converts are quietly participating in a different model of Catholic education. One that removes cost as a barrier without removing fidelity. One that expands access without diluting doctrine.
Catholic Online School exists for a simple reason: to provide free, world-class Catholic education for anyone, anywhere.
It does not replace parishes, parents, or schools. It supports them, by making faithful formation available where traditional systems cannot reach, or can no longer sustain themselves.
With over 10,000 free video lessons, complete lesson plans, and more than 1.5 million enrollments worldwide, Catholic Online School has become a lifeline for families, classrooms, and individuals who want clarity, structure, and orthodoxy, without cost.
Its courses are faithful to:
- The Magisterium of the Church
- The Catechism of the Catholic Church
- The Holy Scriptures
And its reach tells a powerful story.
From homeschool families in rural communities to converts preparing for entry into the Church, from catechists in under-resourced parishes to Catholics living where formal schools no longer exist, this quiet global classroom is already forming the faithful.
No advertising blitz.
No ideological branding.
No compromise.
Just access.
Catholic Online School does not claim to be “the future” of Catholic education. It claims something more modest—and more important.
It exists to ensure that when schools close, the faith does not.
Enrollment is free. For life. Because Catholic education was never meant to belong only to those who could afford it. And while many are still asking what comes next, millions have already begun.
Begin learning today… free, faithful, and available anywhere.
Explore the courses. Enroll for life. Share with someone who needs them.
