Below are the tuition rates for the 2019-20 school year. Please note that these tuition rates include an annual supply fee. See our "How to Register" page for application and registration fees.

Tuition payments begin in May for the following school year. There are options available for payments: Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual or Annual. Monthly payments are 12 months if registering before May. When registering after May and paying monthly, tuition payments are calculated by dividing the total tuition by the remaining months available for payment.

Tuition accounts are managed through an integrated online tuition management solution, Blackbaud Smart Tuition. An account is automatically created upon acceptance of the online Enrollment Contract.

UNPAID BALANCES: Families who have a delinquent balance for the current year (whether tuition or fees) may not register for the next school year until the balance is paid in full.
 

• All fees must be paid in full for 8th grade students by April 30th. Eighth grade students with unpaid balance as of May 1 will not receive diplomas and records will not be transferred. 

 

• School records for all students will not be released until all fees have been paid in full.

In-parish tuition is available to those families who are active parish members at either St. Joseph Church or Christ the Redeemer Church. Families relocating from a Catholic school, who are changing residences and joining St. Joseph Church or Christ the Redeemer Church may pay in-parish tuition rates. A letter from the pastor of the originating parish verifying parish membership must be presented.

Families from other Catholic parishes and non-Catholic families will be assessed the COST-BASED rate for tuition.

The cost for Preschool and Junior Kindergarten is the same for parishioners and non-parishioners.

Sometimes even the very thought that you can afford a Catholic education for your son or daughter requires faith – faith that God will provide a way for you to keep your child close to Him. And if you take time to actually crunch the numbers, you’ll be surprised at how easily priorities can be shifted to make affording tuition possible.

If affording tuition is not possible, though, financial aid is available; St. Joseph School has one of the most generous Financial Aid programs in the Archdiocese.  We share Archbishop Vigneron's desire that "every family who wants a Catholic education for their child should have one."
