Tuition and Fees
Family personal financial sacrifices and volunteerism are valuable contributions ensuring a vibrant school community. We are committed to keeping Catholic education affordable despite inflation.
Tuition and fees help us remain competitive and attract qualified teachers. Fundraising and volunteer obligations are requirements for each kindergarten through eighth grade family. To help keep costs affordable for families, monthly payments may be made over 10- or 12-months.
We have two parishes financially invested and involved in our success and vitality, enabling us to offer a lower tuition rate for Catholic families. Each supporting parish may provide additional tuition assistance to parishioner families who are in financial need. Please contact your parish office for more information.

Preschool is not a part of compulsory attendance in the State of Illinois. Because of this, all preschools in the Diocese of Joliet are required to be self-supporting and do not receive any parish subsidy. We understand the importance of early childhood education; therefore, we do not want the cost to prohibit families from enrolling. Families with a child enrolled in K-8 are extended a 10% discount on preschool tuition.
10-month payment plan paid August-May
