Tuition & Financial Aid

St. Theresa works to partner with families and supporters to invest in our children together. We look forward to a successful school year and partnership. Through fundraising and generous benefactors, including other parents and alumni, the school and parish community supports every student who attends St. Theresa to ensure a lower tuition cost.

There is a $45.00 fee to set up a FACTS payment agreement. Tuition payment options are:

All students must pay a non-refundable fee of $500 at registration (per student). This fee is discounted to $250 (per student) for returning students who re-register by February 18, 2023.

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. Financial aid is awarded in the form of grants which do not need to be paid back. Grants received from the Catholic Schools Foundation are renewable each year, provided the family demonstrates financial need each year. In order to assess what a family can afford for educational costs, we use the FACTS Grant & Aid system as an objective and independent third party. FACTS Grant & Aid calculations are the baseline for our financial aid determinations. We allocate aid based on calculated need: income minus expenses, as well as other information the family may provide in support of the aid application. We also take into consideration the school’s policies and the resources available for both re-enrolling and new students. We also work with families that have multiple children enrolled in the school to support their commitment to Catholic education.

Pre-Kindergarten tuition is not eligible for financial aid and represents the same flat rate whether the child attends full-time or part-time. Families that receive financial aid are not eligible for the 5% tuition discount.
