2019-2020 Tuition & Financial Aid

Below is the tuition cost for the 2019-2020 school year.  Re-enrollment begins 3/1/2019 and runs through 3/29/2019.  Re-enrollments received after 3/29/2018 will be considered late, and a $35 late fee will be added to the standard $85 re-enrollment fee for a total late re-enrollment fee of $120.

St. Antoninus Parish School is a tuition based school. Our administration recognizes and respects the sacrifices that families make to help their children receive a high quality, Catholic education. It is our goal to provide the best education possible to all of our children.  We offer financial assistance to all eligible in-parish families as available.

Payment due with new and returning enrollments (non-refundable):

• New Students K-8, $150 per student
• Returning students (grades 1-8) $85 per student

Full cost of one child's tuition before Parish subsidy is approximately $5,827. The Parish susidy is available to all active, supporting members of the Parish. We are so grateful to our parishioners for supporting our school!  To make your Sunday contributions easier, you can choose to make regular electronic contributions. 

Our Finance Council support the following policies in regard to the 2019-2020 tuition rates.

Policies

• The in-parish tuition rate is established for those whom the Parish has determined to be active, registered, contributing members of St. Antoninus Church.

• All tuition payments must be current in order to register for the new school year.

• All families of a graduating 8th grader will be subject to withdrawal from St. Antoninus if tuition is not current by March 25th.

• In the event your financial institution returns a payment, a $30 FACTS returned payment fee will be automatically processed from your account.

• All late FACTS payments will incur a $40 late fee.

• Tutition assistance is available to in-parish students in grades 1-8 with a completed FACTS Tuition/Aid Grant online application.  One application will suffice for both the CEF grant and Tuition Assistance through St. Antoninus. Deadline to apply for St. Antoninus financial assistance through the Arlene Vallejos Tuition Assitance Program is March 29, 2019.

• Kindergarten is not subsidized by the Parish.  It is self-sufficient.

Withdrawal of Students

• Written notification must be submitted to the School Office at least two weeks before the effective date of the withdrawal.  A Request for Records Release must be signed by the parent/legal guardian. 

• Tuition must be current and up to date before student records can be release or sent to any other institution.  

• The cost of a child's education is a full school year expense.  Parents need to understand that books, teaching supplies, and materials are purchased, teachers and support staff are hired, and classrooms are prepared with the anticipation of each student's full-year enrollment.  As a result St. Antoninus School has established the specific policies and guidelines regarding student who withdraw from school.  Please note enrollment fees (as stated above) are NON-REFUNDABLE.

Following are the Guidelines for Archdiocesan Tuition Assistance through the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF):

K-8 Grade Student Grants

• Priority deadline for applications this year will be January 31, 2019.  The application period for 2019-20 tuition aid grants is now closed.
