 Tuition Information for the 2011-2012 School Year

 

Through the school's budgeting processes the finance committee has determined that the cost of educating one child at Sacred Heart School in 2010-2011 stands at $4,558 per student.  With that figure in mind, we hope that you can see how hard we are working to keep Sacred Heart School affordable for all of our families.  Tuition rates for the 2011-2012 school year have been set as follows:

 

2011-2012 Rates

3/4 year old Preschool	$  900 per year - T/R classes
4/5 year old Preschool	$1,350 per year - M/W/F classes
1/2 Day Kindergarten	$1,420 (No textbook/technology fee)
Full Day Kindergarten	$1,735 (No textbook/technology fee)
Grades 1-5	$1,735 ($75 textbook/technology fee)
Grades 6-8	$2,050 ($75 textbook/technology fee)
Grades 9-12	$2,205 ($75 textbook/technology fee)
Non-Catholic Fee	$1,680 per family
Catholic Parish Assessment (other than SH / St. Pat's per-student)	$  840 per family

Tuition incentives for the 2011-12 school year will include a $500 tuition credit for anyone hosting an International Student, and a 3% tuition discount for anyone paying all tuition up front.  These incentives are in effect for tuition only and do not include the tithe expectation or the non-parish / other parish assessments.

 

As an additional reminder: tuition obligations can be significantly reduced through participation in the SCRIP program.  Participation in the SCRIP program makes significant savings possible and comes at NO ADDITIONAL COST to parents and families!  Please contact Mrs. DeGraff, edegraff@gogremlins.com, in the main office for more information.

 

Families benefiting from Catholic parish tuition rates MUST have a stewardship card on file in the rectory office and be making an annual tax deductible contribution (tithe) to the parish of $840 or more.  Families will not be able to enroll for an upcoming year until all obligations have been addressed.  The tithing percentages recommended by the Diocese of Jefferson City are 5% of annual household income to the local parish, 1% to the diocese and 4% to the charities of choice.

 

WE REALIZE THAT PARENTS ARE MAKING A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE BY CHOOSING SACRED HEART SCHOOL.  THE INFORMATION BELOW IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU SEE WHAT YOU ARE RECEIVING FOR YOUR INVESTMENT!

 

• Varied and successful extracurricular programs and opportunities. In fact, at the high school level, over 90% of our students participate in one or more extracurricular opportunity

 

• Parents are making a solid investment in our children's post-secondary future. In the past 5 years SHHS has graduated a total of 153 students who among them have amassed more than $2.75 million in scholarships and awards.

 

• Of the 153 members of the classes of 2007 through 2011, 116 enrolled in one or more dual credit classes amassing a total of more than 2,000 college hours while enrolled at Sacred Heart High School.
