We will likely be moving before too long and we’re hoping to find a place with schools offering daily Mass. I am particularly having trouble finding elementary schools with daily Mass anywhere in the country, except for St. Ephrem Academy in El Cajon, CA and Atonement Academy in San Antonio, TX. Does anyone know of any specific schools that fit the bill, or of any resources that might list them?
 
If you can’t find a Catholic school that offers daily mass to its students, you might be able to find one attached to a parish that offers daily mass every morning before school starts. Then if you get up early enough you could attend with your children before sending them to school. This is what my husband’s mother did he was growing up.
 
My kids schools one in HS and one in Elementary both have mass daily.

The school my children attend does this. Mass is timed to be over just before school starts, students are encouraged to go to the Mass (many of the teachers do) and students from the school serve the Mass. They have a weekly “children’s” Mass later in the morning where many of the parents attend with the students.
 
St. Joseph in Aurora, IL and Holy Cross in Batavia, IL. St. Joseph has Mass at 7 AM, before school starts, with a come-or-go for the students who wish to attend. Holy Cross has daily school Mass with parent volunteers in the vestibule who check the students in as they come to school.

OOooo! We have this. A 7:00 am Mass with school starting at 7:55 am. A lot of times that Mass is canceled if the priest is out of town, though. We’d love new students, too. No waiting list or high tuition here in small town America.
 
There is a very authentic Catholic school located in a suburb of Rochester, NY called Archangel School. They attend Mass daily and pray the Rosary often. Tuition is very affordable as well. 🙂
 
Did you ever consider home schooling? You could take your kids to mass every day and it wouldn’t matter where you lived.
 
We have weekly Mass on Wednesday for the kids plus any Holy Days, I believe that’s pretty good for kids IMHO. They get that mid week boost but we don’t burn them out.

Most of the adults I know who went to daily Mass as children are no longer practicing. 😦 None of those are from our Parish but have moved here from other areas.

Our parish has a 7am morning Mass… and school starts at 7:55 (when the bell rings for morning prayer)… so there’s a perfect opportunity to go then!.. the school goes to Mass on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, and has an “alternate liturgy” in the courtyard on the other Tuesdays, where they read the readings and have more class participation, etc…
