While the tuition and fees listed above represent the maximum our families would pay, the actual cost to educate each student is about $16,400. Saint Joseph Catholic Academy does not receive any dedicated parish or Diocesan funding. Consequently, the difference between the maximum tuition charged and cost to educate each student is made up by generous contributions from individuals, families, and businesses who believe in the value of a Catholic high school education and are committed to supporting the mission of Saint Joe’s.

Tuition Payment Management
Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy requires that all tuition payments are made through STS (Simple Tuition Solutions). Once a student's annual tuition has been finalized a link to set up payments in STS will be sent to his/her parent/guardian.

Payment Options
Four tuition payment options are available through STS and begin on August 1st. Please note that credit card fees may apply.

One annual payment for total tuition, due on August 1 through STS with no fee.
Two biannual payments of ½ total tuition. The first payment is due on August 1; the second payment is due in January through STS for a $10 fee.
Quarterly payments are ¼ total tuition four times a year; due August 1, November, February, and May through STS for a $25 fee.
Ten (10) monthly payments are 1/10 total tuition, over an 10-month period from August through May, due each month through STS for a $40 fee.
