Tuition Policies for 2011 – 2012
Immaculate Conception Parish is committed to provide a quality faith-based education to its families at a fair and equitable tuition rate. The actual cost for educating each child at I.C. School is over $6000. The parish supports the school and its families with funds from the weekly collections, which makes the tuition rate lower than the actual cost.
The base tuition rate (K-6) for parishioners who participate in the liturgical life of the parish is $4,152 per child. The base tuition rate for non-parish members or parishioners who do not participate in the liturgical life of the parish is $4,743 per child. Tuition for preschool 1 is $660 per year and tuition for preschool 2 is $990 per year.
Families of students in grades K-6 can apply for financial aid by completing an application with Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS). The funds for these additional grants, which also come from the parish, are limited, and applications must be submitted by April 15 to qualify. The minimum tuition charge is $1000 per child or $2500 for a family of more than 2 children.
Families will receive their tuition agreements in May.
A separate application process is available for families to request “Adopt-a-Student” funding if they feel they need further assistance in paying their tuition charges. This program is funded through personal donations specifically set aside to assist families who need greater assistance. Adopt-a-student applications will be available as soon as tuition agreements are sent out in May, and families may request an application at the school office. Adopt-a-student funds are limited to what has been donated, so it is recommended that applications are made early to assure an equitable distribution of funds.
