Tuition/Financial Aid

  Annual Tuition Rates for 2008-2009


New for the 2008-2009 school year, St. Michael's School is offering an income-based tuition plan to more closely match differing family needs.  St. Michael's Parish is committed to making a Catholic education available to all families.  If extenuating circumstances make the following tuition rates unaffordable to your family, please see Fr. Tony Pelak (837-8158) to arrange for extra financial assistance.  Tuition should never be the reason that your family decides against sending your child(ren) to St. Michael's School.

Financial Aid

Financial aid is available from the diocese as well as from St. Michael's Parish. SMS understands that each family differs in its financial circumstances at any given time, but St. Michael's Parish is committed to making a Catholic education available to all families. We will work with you to find financial assistance.We don’t want tuition to be the reason your family doesn’t send your child to St. Michael's School.

St. Michael's SCRIP Program

Families can reduce their tuition significantly by participating in the St. Michael's SCRIP program. SCRIP allows families to purchase gift certificates that are used like cash to purchase groceries, food, clothing, gas, etc. Retailers then return a percentage of the total amount purchased back to the parish and to your own tuition bill.
