Joliet Catholic Academy recently celebrated 157 years of Catholic education in the Will County area, and has been built on the belief that Angels and Hilltoppers are champions of their faith in the classroom, after school, and on the playing field. JCA, with a family of 560 current students and over 28,000 alumni, is the number one choice for Catholic college preparatory education in the Joliet, Shorewood, and Plainfield communities. This year, JCA students achieved a 67% pass rate on AP exams, a higher rate than the state and national averages. Applications are still being accepted for the incoming Class of 2030 and for current high school students interested in transferring. JCA awarded over $2.4 million dollars in scholarships during the 2025-2026 school year, ranging from $500 to 50% off tuition through the JCA Endowment and Catholic Education Foundation.
