SJS Tuition Information

TUITION INFORMATION

St. Joseph Catholic Church graciously supports our school for the purpose of assisting Catholic parents in fulfilling their primary responsibility to raise their children in the Catholic faith. St. Joseph School is funded through three sources: tuition, donations, and parish subsidy. At SJS, we know both the great value of a Catholic education and the challenge that tuition can sometimes be. Our goal is to keep our school affordable for any family that is committed to a Catholic education for their child(ren), while maintaining our mission to educate our students to become their best possible selves. 

Out of justice to all parents and the parish community, parents are expected to keep tuition payments up to date. All parents and guardians are responsible for tuition and other fees charged by the school. The school business manager will review the tuition records on a regular basis. Student report cards will not be released if the tuition account has an outstanding balance. In addition, the school reserves the right to take further action, up to and including dismissal, if tuition payments are not made in a timely fashion. 

PAYMENT PLANS

  • Monthly tuition will be paid with automatic bank draft.

  • Yearly and semi-annual plans can be paid by cash or check to be received on August 1st for yearly plans or August 15th and January 15th for semi-annual plans.
