Tuition and Fees

Our goal is to provide the many benefits of a Catholic education

Many families make great sacrifices daily to send their children to catholic schools, meanwhile many generous donors and fundraisers provide us with support. Our goal is to ensure that the many benefits of a Catholic education are accessible and available to children and families who value a Catholic education while we try to maintain and attract high caliber teachers. Therefore, families who feel the tuition is out of their reach should go through FACTS Grant & Aid.

The Qualified Catholic tuition rate for Kindergarten through 8th grade will be charged based on the student’s Roman Catholic Baptism Certificate and registration in a Catholic parish.
