Tuition & Financial Aid

Every family at St Theresa of the Child Jesus School is expected to contribute to the cost of education, thus supporting our school community to the extent family circumstances permit. Tuition plays a crucial role in the sustainability of our school and in our ability to offer a high-quality education to your children. It allows us to fairly compensate our teachers and staff, and to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment for our entire community.

A Fair and Objective Process

Financial aid decisions are made through an independent, third-party organization, ensuring fairness, confidentiality, and consistency.

  • We use FACTS Grant & Aid, a nationally recognized financial aid assessment service.
  • FACTS provides an objective evaluation of each family’s financial situation
  • Financial aid is awarded based on demonstrated need, taking into account Household income and expenses, family circumstances, supporting documentation; School policies, and available financial resources
  • We also work closely with families who have multiple children enrolled, supporting their commitment to Catholic education.

Grants awarded through the Catholic Schools Foundation are renewable annually, provided families demonstrate financial need each year.

The financial aid application process is designed to be straightforward, confidential, and objective.

  • Apply online through FACTS Grant & Aid
  • Use District Code: STS-MA
  • Complete and submit the application and upload supporting documentation

 

The FACTS application typically takes about one hour to complete and includes a $45 application fee. Families must reapply annually for financial aid.

Important Dates:
  • March 31: Financial aid applications due to FACTS
  • April 30: All supporting documents due to FACTS
  • June 1: Families notified of financial aid decisions by email
