Tuition Information

At Saint Joe’s, we believe that financial circumstances should not prevent a student from the benefits of a high-quality Catholic education. Saint Joe’s is committed to making sure a Catholic high school education is available to all students and families who seek this opportunity.

Financial aid is available to help us fulfill this commitment. If your family is interested in Saint Joe’s, but concerned about affording tuition and fees, learn more about how financial aid can help.

TUITION

Tuition for the 2019-20 school year is $8,900 for domestic students and $17,500 for international students.

The actual cost per student is about $16,400; Saint Joe’s does not receive parish or Diocesan funding. The difference between tuition and cost per 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.

ACTIVITY/TECHNOLOGY/TEXTBOOK FEE

Saint Joe’s has a fee to support 1:1 technology that offers a personal MacBook Air for every student, to cover activities and textbooks. The 2019-2020 fee is $650.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy contracts with faculty and staff and incurs financial obligations for the entire school year. In order for SJCA to provide for these financial obligations, when a student is enrolled, the parent/guardian assumes the obligation to pay the contract in full.

In order to receive a full refund of tuition paid, the parent/guardian must advise the Head of School by July 31st, if the student will be withdrawing. Registration Fee, Activity/Technology/Textbook Fee, and Graduation Fee are non-refundable under any circumstances.

If student is withdrawn by the first day of school, 10% of the tuition is non-refundable.

If student is withdrawn between the first day of school and the end of the first semester, 50% of the tuition is non-refundable.

If student is withdrawn after the end of the first semester, 100% of the tuition is non-refundable.

Extenuating circumstances regarding the withdrawal of a student will be handled on a case to case basis.

The school reserves the right, if any tuition payment is past due, to remove the student(s) from the school. The school has the further right to refuse re-enrollment for the following school year until financial commitments have been met. No transcripts of grades or school records of any child enrolled in the school shall be provided without prior payment to the school of tuition due.
