We serve those in two different areas; through our Bright Futures (Legacy) Schools and through our MOScholars Program. 

Legacy Schools

ccBuilding on our 30+ year legacy, our three schools provide need-based assistance for low-income children in Kansas City's urban core. Our schools are:
  • Holy Cross School
  • Our Lady of Hope School
  • Our Lady's Montessori School

In our schools, students start their journey on our SHINE Brightly Pathway to Success; seeing 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 provide assistance for families who wish to continue with Catholic education for their children at select Catholic high schools. 

The average household income for a family in our school is $16,000. Our students often come from challenging economic situations. Nonetheless, each family makes a financial contribution to their Bright Futures School. In addition to our schools, we have established partnerships with other Kansas City area Catholic Schools, to help ensure access to a high-quality education to all those who want it. Partnering schools include St. Mary’s School – Montrose and St. John Francis Regis Academy.

MOScholars Program

Our organization is an Education Assistance Organization (EAO) with the State of Missouri, allowing us to provide scholarships <$6,375  to students in need throughout the Diocese of Kansas City - St. Joseph. This program status has seen our served schools increase enrollment over 9% in the 2022-2023 school year, 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.
