The Archdiocesan high schools currently have nearly 200 international students enrolled; these students are all housed with host families throughout the diocese.

Three W International is one of North America's largest student enrollment management companies with over 90 partner schools and 1,700 students in 18 U.S. states and 3 Canadian provinces. The three residential programs in Philadelphia will be under the direction of Lawrence Callahan, retired Superintendent of Schools of the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Archdiocese of Washington, DC.
