Tuition and Financial Aid Information for 2026-2027
Our Commission has been hard at work these past weeks, establishing new subcommittee guidelines and reviewing our budget for the 2026-2027 school year. As part of our commitment to transparency and careful planning, we're adjusting our enrollment timeline to better serve families. This year, current family re-enrollment will open earlier, with a target date of January 13. This earlier timeline allows us to release tuition information sooner, giving you more time to plan for the year ahead.

The mission of St. Francis of Assisi School is to educate the whole person within a Christ-centered, Catholic community that fosters an active faith, promotes academic growth, and empowers all students to think critically, act with purpose, advocate for justice, and serve with compassion.

Your partnership in this mission is a true blessing. The quality of education we provide—delivered by exceptional teachers, supported by dedicated staff, and enhanced by current resources—requires intentional investment and faithful stewardship. These elements create the foundation our students need to develop confidence, character, and competence in our rapidly changing world.

After prayerful consultation with Fr. Khanh and our School Commission, we are announcing the following tuition rates for the 2026-2027 school year:

 

• In-Parish Tuition: $10,067
• Out-of-Parish Tuition: $13,070

 

This adjustment reflects the real costs of maintaining educational excellence. Our per-student operating costs have increased 8% year-over-year due to rising expenses across all areas of school operations.

We remain committed to our multi-year goal of moving toward a single, equitable tuition rate for all families—a vision rooted in our values of justice, inclusion, and compassion. This adjustment helps us maintain competitive teacher salaries, preserve our facilities, and sustain the high-quality programs that define a St. Francis education.

We understand that choosing Catholic education represents a significant commitment for your family, and we deeply respect that sacrifice. Financial assistance is available through the Fulcrum Foundation, with an application deadline of December 31. If you need help with your application, please contact the front office by December 18.

Thank you for your continued trust, generosity, and partnership. Together, we are forming young people who live their faith with purpose, wisdom, and compassion.

With gratitude and peace,
Mrs. Farewell
Principal
