Whom we serve

We serve our students in two different areas; through our Bright Futures Schools and through the MOScholars Program. 

Legacy Schools

Building on our 30+ year legacy, our three schools provide a Catholic education for children in the inner city. Our schools are:
  • Holy Cross School
  • Our Lady of Hope School​
  • Our Lady's Montessori School
In our schools, students start their journey to success with a high-quality Catholic education available to them starting in Pre-K and following them to college. Students attending our schools become eligible for Honoring Family Scholarships and the Richard and Olivia Mock Scholarship Program. These scholarships provide assistance for families who wish to continue with Catholic education for their children at diocesan Catholic high schools. 

Although our students live in  challenging economic situations, each family also makes a financial commitment to their own Bright Futures School. Like you, they are also investing in a brighter future for their child. 

MOScholars Program

Our organization is an Education Assistance Organization (EAO) with the State of Missouri, allowing us to provide scholarships of $6,375  to families who qualify throughout the Diocese of Kansas City - St. Joseph. Since 2022, our diocesan schools have seen increased enrollment through this program and we expect regular growth for the community. This 'game changer' program will allow us to serve more students than ever before, and we are excited for the changes it will bring.
