TUITION AND FEES

Tuition (TK-8TH Grade)

As a private parish school, we follow a tuition rate along with our Fees Schedule, and the required Fundraising and Parent Service responsibilities during the school year.

The fulfillment of these financial and service responsibilities, along with your child’s academic progress and discipline record, are considerations for your child’s re-admission for the following school year.

The Tuition is an annual amount and for your convenience you may make a full payment of your tuition in the school office or choose to make 2 or 10 monthly payments through FACTS.

See payment options below.

Tuition is a yearly fee, not a monthly fee. In the event a student must withdraw, a percentage of the yearly tuition will be calculated for the final balance and to ensure all debts are paid before closing out the account.

Tuition is paid through FACTS Tuition Management Company. FACTS charges an annual nonrefundable management fee of $50.

All families on a payment plan must sign up and use FACTS to pay tuition. If families do not sign up for FACTS, there is an annual nonrefundable SES management fee of $100, due by August 29, 2025 and families are not eligible for re-registration discounts and will pay the full spring registration fee.

Returned Check/Insufficient Funds Fees: A $35.00 returned check fee will be assessed by FACTS for any tuition payments returned by your bank. St. Emydius School will charge a $35.00 returned check fee for all other checks written to the school. This might result in multiple fees being assessed to your account.

Financial Assistance

One of the goals of St. Emydius Catholic School is to provide quality education to all students. Families who would like to apply for financial assistance from Catholic Education Foundation (CEF), the school, or the Parish must fill out the financial aid application, along with the appropriate documentation before being considered for any assistance. No assistance will be awarded to families without the required paperwork on file with the principal. All families must apply for assistance from CEF in order to be considered for any school or parish assistance.

Financial Aid is renewable and families are required to apply each year. Please contact our office for additional questions about our financial aid process.
