Tuition and Financial Aid
Saint Mary School is committed to making Catholic education affordable for all families. Tuition is determined by a variety of factors that take into account the cost to educate a child and the comparable costs of education in our area. Because of the generosity of the Saint Mary Community and the support of our parish, Saint Mary School is able to offer competitive tuition that is far lower than the actual cost of education.
