Tuition & Fees

“The purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” – Sydney J. Harris
Saint Cecilia Catholic School offers a reduced tuition rate for active members of Catholic parishes through the generous donations from Saint Cecilia Catholic Church. To receive an In-Parish tuition rate, parents are to be fully active and practicing members of their Catholic parish. Active participation in a parish includes regular (weekly) participation in Sunday Mass, financial support, and participation in other parish activities and services.

Non-parishioners and parishioners not meeting the In-Parish tuition standards will follow the Out-of-Parish tuition schedule.

Volunteer & Fundraising Hours

Tuition, although a large investment in your child’s education, does not cover the full cost of educating our students. Volunteers are essential to the support of the school and to moderate operating costs. Fundraising and community involvement are important and integral aspects for the continued existence of Saint Cecilia Catholic School and help build genuine community.
