Tuition Policy
The choice of Catholic education entails financial sacrifice on the part of both the employees and families. Tuition is the primary source of financial support for the academic programs of Saint Catherine of Siena Catholic School.
Tuition Rates
Tuition is based on parochial membership and involvement. For Catholic families, active or non-active status is determined by the family’s pastor. Active Catholic families are those that support the Church through sacrificial giving of time, talent, and treasure. Support given to the home parish in turn supports the school through the programs and policies of the Archdiocese. The school financially assesses what is lacking in support to the local parish by a non-active family with an additional fee.
Our tuition is all-inclusive: all obligatory fees and assessments are incorporated into the total cost of tuition. Our tuition includes fees for textbooks and workbooks, field trips, and technology.
We are pleased to be able to continue to offer a sliding tuition scale which offers sibling discounts for families with multiple children enrolled in our school.
For the 2010-2011 school year, the tuition package for an active Catholic family is as follows:
1. Re-enrollment/registration fee: $130 per student.
2. Tuition:
· One student $6,595
· First sibling $6,095
· Second and other sibling $5,495
If a Catholic family is designated as non-active Catholic by their home parish, the family will be assessed an additional $500 per student, with the following scale:
1. Re-enrollment/registration fee: $130 per student.
2. Tuition:
· One student $7,095
· First sibling $6,595
· Second and other sibling $5,995
Families which have been designated as non-active will be contacted.
The tuition for a non-Catholic family will be $7,295 per student.
Tuition payments are not tax-deductible.
Failure to remit payments in a timely manner may result in administrative action. Report cards and official transcripts will be held until tuition payments are current or an alternate payment plan has been approved by the principal/pastor.
St. Catherine Catholic School uses FACTS Tuition Management system for tuition payments for all semi-annual and monthly payments. FACTS chrages a small set-up fee ($15 for semi-annual plans; $41 for 11-moth plan). For the 2010-2011 school year, all families are required to re-enroll through an updated FACTS website for semi-annual and monthly payment options. Please visit the link posted on the school’s website. Once you click the link, you will be directed to update your FACTS information as a new user. We ask all families to have their new agreements set up by April 23, 2010.
New for the 2010-2011 school year is a credit card payment option. FACTS charges a small processing fee for credit card payments. Payment dates remain the 5th and 20th of each month for all payment options.
The payment schedule will offer again three options: annual, semi-annual, or 11 month payment(s).
