Admission & Tuition
Tuition and Fees
The Finance Council has approved the following tuition schedule for the 2012-2013 school year. Expenses have increased and we are uncertain as to the future amounts to be funded by the State of Ohio to Catholic schools. In the past, state funding has covered, in addition to our special services staff salaries, the cost of textbooks, workbooks, testing materials and annual technology costs such as Internet service and maintenance contracts. Our tuition is being increased to help cover a portion of the increased expenses and the anticipated reduced funding.
The tuition for the 2012-2013 school year is increasing $150.00 per student. The tuition for kindergarten will be the tuition of one child plus $300. This allows us to place an aide in each of the three kindergarten classrooms. Following is the tuition schedule. The sliding scale for more than one student applies only for grades 1-8.
