St. John Catholic School is one of many important areas of ministry within St. John the Evangelist Parish in which parents may choose to participate and receive spiritual and academic benefits. Because significant expenditures are required to provide quality education, it is necessary to charge tuition and fees, and to seek compliance with the payment schedule. All parents enrolling their children in the school commit themselves to the conditions stated below:

The consideration of the Church Grant rate is based on family need, financial support given to the church, and financial subsidy received from the church as verified by the pastor on the Grant Application. Determination of tuition for the first semester will be based on record of church contributions of previous January - June. Tuition for second semester will be based on record of church contributions of the previous July - December.
In addition to tuition, registration and book/technology fees, each family:
- Will be asked to raise $250 by participating in school fundraisers. There will be several opportunities to meet this obligation. Families may elect to simply contribute the $250. See new Fundraising Policy (PDF).
- Will be asked to donate 10 service hours during the school year.
Because of the importance of maintaining a continuous cash flow to meet ongoing school expenses, the plan will be rigidly enforced. If payments are not met on schedule, the child will not be readmitted the next semester. If a hardship case exists for the family, they should contact the school office in advance of the due date so that an alternate payment plan can be addressed.
The Registration Fee is non-refundable.
Monthly tuition payments are due each 5th of the month
beginning August 5, 2008.

Financial Assistance
Families in need of financial assistance should complete a family needs assessment form, available from the school office. You submit a detailed analysis of your finanacial situation to a company which assesses your circumstances, and notifies you and the school of what would be a resonable and realistic tuition payment for you. Your financial information is examined by the company, not by anyone locally, so it is a confidential and objective assessment of need.
Once need is determined the school will make every effort to provide assistance to as many families as we can. Funds will come from special collections, gifts, and contributions and special fund raising efforts. $50,000 of the current parish support of the school will be used for financial assistance.
The St. John Catholic Community sees the eduction of young peoples as a vital ministry. Parents are asked to pay as much of cost as they can. We will try to help those in need of assistance. Please call if you have any questions.
