Tuition at Holy Rosary Catholic School reflects that portion of the total cost of education per child for the school year for which the parent is directly responsible.  Because the educating of our children is a fundamental ministry of the Catholic Church, Catholic families will often receive a subsidy from their parish that reduces the amount of tuition paid directly by that family.

For each academic year, you will receive a tuition bill for each student enrolled at Holy Rosary approximately four weeks before the start of each academic quarter.  This bill will reflect the cost of education for your child for that quarter, the amount of parish subsidy for which your family is qualified and the difference between those amounts.  That difference is the amount of tuition owed directly by your family.

Tuition must be paid before the beginning of each academic quarter.  Parents may also choose to pay the entire amount of tuition prior to the start of the school year.

Only those families who regularly support Holy Rosary Catholic Church through the Sunday collection will be eligible for a Parish subsidy or reduction of tuition.  Current guidelines require that participating Holy Rosary parishioners maintain a minimal contribution of $52.00 per week, or a total of $2704.00, per year into the Sunday collection. 

Holy Rosary School does offer the availability of automatic withdrawals from your bank account for weekly giving (if a parishioner), tuition and Instructional Materials and Technology (IMT) fees. With the automatic withdrawal program, you may elect to pay your tuition and IMT fees in 10-monthly installments, beginning in August and ending in May for each school year. Otherwise, IMT fees will be due by the last day of June for the upcoming school year and tuition will be payable in four installments, prior to the beginning of each quarter. If you are interested in the automatic withdrawal option, please watch for authorization forms to be provided in upcoming parent packs or request a form from the school office available the second week of May for each upcoming school year. Please remember, you may elect to use automatic withdrawal for (a) tuition and IMT fees only, (b) weekly giving only or (c) tuition/IMT fees and weekly giving.

Payment should be made through the School office.  There are multiple payment options available and additional information is available through both the church and school offices. 

At Holy Rosary, a Catholic education will be available for our parishioners.  *Tuition assistance and restructuring of the weekly donation is available for those families with financial needs.*   Anyone who cannot meet the financial requirements should request a financial assistance application at the school or church office well in advance of the beginning of the school year.  It is the responsibility of each school family to contact the school or church office should your financial circumstances change and financial assistance or an alternate payment plan need to be made. 

The Instructional Materials/Technology Fee (I.M.T. Fee)  is charged to each student regardless of the date of entrance.  This fee pays for textbooks, workbooks, text booklet-computerized scoring, materials for each subject area such as audio visuals, lab equipment (dissecting materials, chemicals), art supplies, student subscriptions, construction paper, stamps, chalk, etc.  It also provides technology-based resources for teachers and students.   

NOTE: I.M.T. FEE & TUITION BILLS WILL BE MAILED FROM SCHOOL PRIOR TO EACH DUE DATE.

The Holy Rosary School Board has done a very good job in the past of working with the controllable items in our school’s budget. However, the majority of our budget (approximately 85%) is non-controllable items that are determined by sources other than Holy Rosary Parish and School, such as medical insurance, property and liability insurance, and utilities, to name a few. The School Board, in conjunction with the Parish Finance Commission and Parish Council, is dedicated to keeping tuition and expenses as reasonable as possible while at the same time maintaining the integrity of our education program and allowing for continued improvement and growth!
