TUITION & FEES

St. Mary School receives most of its financing from student tuition and fees. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the financial viability and longevity of St. Mary School through a plan of systematic payment and collection of student tuition and fees. Tuition is paid through a monthly payment system (FACTS). There is a  The tuition procedure will in no way affect our approach to families that are in genuine need and require special payment plans. We continue to try to provide a Catholic education to every child who desires a faith-based education.

The tuition agreement is a contract between St. Mary Catholic School and our school families. Failure to pay any part of the tuition or fees may result in the unpaid balance being turned over to a debt collection agency.
