Katie Holmes has enrolled her six-year-old daughter Suri into the same Catholic school Lady Gaga once attended. The 33 year old mother has recently been given primary custody of Suri after her divorce to actor and husband Tom Cruise last week.  Suri will be educated at New York's Convent of the Sacred Heart School and she will start there this autumn.

Reportedly, Cruise wanted his daughter to have a Scientology educational background but Holmes wanted her to get a Catholic education.  Sources claim that this is one of the prime reasons for the divorce. Cruise has two other children, Isabella, 19, and 17-year-old Connor who do have a Scientology upbringing.

However, they have denied they clashed over their beliefs and released a statement saying: "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."

According to the Los Angeles Times, Suri - who was previously home-schooled - will start her classes on September 6, which will be the youngster's first open classroom format.

The curriculum at Sacred Heart is thought to be extremely strict, requiring students to attend Mass every Thursday, while tuition fee reportedly costs $38,000 a year. As well as Lady Gaga, former students at the school - which calls itself on its website "the oldest independent school for girls in New York City" - also include Caroline Kennedy, actress Jordana Brewster and Paris Hilton.
