With financial aid and competitive tuition, Catholic education is surprisingly affordable.

Tuition is offered at a flat rate; all families are charged the same regardless of your parish or religious affiliation. Families with financial concerns should not hesitate to apply, or reach out to inquire.

The cost of education is subsidized for all families, allowing us to offer our discounted tuition rates to you.

Financial assistance is on the rise for a Catholic education here at Our Lady.
