Tuition Policy and Procedures

The School Ådvisory Council (SAC) sets the scale for tuition for each school year. It is anticipated that our Parish will spend $6070.00 during the 2008-2009 school year to educate each student. Your tuition and fees cover only 61% of this cost. The 39% gap is filled largely by Parish support and school fundraising. This tuition policy applies to all families, including those who have been granted tuition assistance. School families who support and actively participate in parish and school activiites receive a tuition reduction from the full $6070.00 cost to educate each student.
