Welcome to the online home of Trinity Catholic School - St. Paul, Minnesota
|
The current cost of educating each child at Trinity is over $6500, and we expect the 08/09 cost to exceed $6700. Families contribute roughly one-third (tuition, fund raising, fees) of the cost of educating a child, which means two-thirds of that cost is paid through other sources, such as the three founding parishes, the Archdiocese, and Development initiatives.
For ease of understanding, given the substantial assistance available to those who qualify, we introduce the concept of Sliding Fee Tuition for 08/09 in which families will be expected to pay between $0 and $214 per month based on their ability to pay. Once again, TADS will be used to verify and quantify the equitable monthly rate for each family if they wish to seek assistance.
Trinity also depends on the participation of every family to raise $250 through fundraisers and to volunteer 15 hours of service during the school year. Those families unable to raise $250 will have the difference added to their April tuition billing.
Below you will find a table representing the maximum tuition (no assistance) for the different payment methods available; there are discounts if more than one child attends Trinity during the same school year, as well as for cash payments in one or two lump sums. You will notice that families choosing to pay monthly will pay by FACTS over 11 months starting July 1; more details on FACTS will be available in the Trinity Weekender.
