FACTS Administrative Fee: A non-refundable administrative fee of $46 per student will be charged to each family’s FACTS tuition account. Preschool is separate.

*Each K-8 family is given a $1,000 fundraising opportunity. This means that instead of adding this amount to tuition, families can raise it during fundraising events put on by the school. If a family chooses not to participate or doesn’t fundraise the full amount, their family FACTS account will be charged with their remaining balance in April of the academic year. Preschool families are exempt from this charge.

 Tuition Assistance

Tuition assistance is available through FACTS Grant and Aid.  To guarantee consideration for the 2025-26 year, applications for financial aid are due by Monday, May 12th, 2025. 

  • Families wishing to send a child to St. Francis of the Lakes Catholic School will not be denied because of financial hardship, within the parameters of the funds available.    

  • While tuition assistance funds have a limit, all families can apply for financial assistance. A $35 FACTS fees is charged when the family application is complete, and families will be informed of the amount they will receive by the Director of Advancement and Admissions, Carla Coonan. 

  • In the event a family needs to discuss their difficulty in meeting their tuition and fundraising obligations, please contact Carla Coonan. 

Why We Offer Tuition Assistance

 

“…in cooperation with and in support of the family…”

 

Why a Fundraising Opportunity?

The actual cost of educating each child at St. Francis of the Lakes Catholic School is $8,000 per year. To meet our budget for the coming year, this $7,550 would need to be covered by your tuition and parish assistance. With our mission in mind, we have arranged to lower tuition by $1,000 per family and instead provide opportunities during the school year for you to seek financial support from your community.
