Tuition & Financial Aid
Investing in a lifelong formation
We believe a classical Catholic education should be within reach for every family who seeks it. Read on to see how affordable our program is and what efforts we can make to help you with expenses .
This tuition and financial aid information applies to our School of Arts college programs. Families interested in Pre-K through 12th grade can inquire separately about those costs.
Pre-K through 12th GradeTuition & Costs
Our tuition covers a rich academic and artistic formation, residential life, and personal accompaniment throughout your studies. Our costs are very low compared to other colleges, because the Sisters not receive a salary.
Tuition
Covers training and coursework in the liberal arts, fine arts, and technical arts programs with qualified instructors dedicated to your needs. $4,000 per semester for full-time students ($300 per credit for part-time students).
Room & Board
Includes residence hall housing, access to library and lounge area, and balanced daily meals in a private dining area for students living on campus. $2,000 per semester (payable in 5 installments of $400 per month, if desired).
Books & Fees
Covers course materials, studio supplies, and student activity fees. To keep these fees low, we will provide online resources whenever possible. Approximately $200 per semester.
Financial Aid
Although we do not currently participate in federal financial aid programs, we do want to make sure that we do as much as we can to help make our services affordable. An on-campus work-study program can help you pay for room and board, and we make every effort to keep fees and out-of-pocket costs as low as possible.
