- Source: List of schools in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans
This is a list of schools in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans. They are not all operated by the archdiocese. There are 5 universities or colleges and over 20 high schools within the archdiocese.
As per a 2013 strategic plan the New Orleans Archdiocese allows affiliated schools to either be grade PK-7 combined elementary and middle schools (similar to a K-8 school), grade 8-12 senior high schools, or full K-12 schools. As per the plan the standalone middle schools and combined middle and high schools were to reconfigure themselves. The new configurations were to be effective for the 2015-2016 school year. 37 schools were to be affected by the grade reconfiguration. The archdiocese planned to end affiliation with any school that did not comply with the grade configuration regime.
