FEES AND TUITION

Tuition

Notre Dame School charges tuition that does not cover the total cost of the school's operating expenses. Tuition for a practicing Catholic child baptized in Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade is $6,560 per year, and tuition for non-Catholic students or non-practicing Catholics is $7,427, with discounts for additional siblings.

The School and parish families participate in different fundraising projects to help meet the difference in the tuition rate and the actual cost. In addition to tuition, parents agree to complete 45 volunteer hours (30 if single parent), attend four P.T.O. meetings, and pay the P.T.O. fee. Parents are also strongly encouraged to support the Scrip program.

Tuition assistance is available for eligible families. Tuition rates vary depending on Catholic or non-Catholic and willingness to participate as a parent volunteer. Contact the school at 530- 342-2502 for more information.
