2023-2024 Tuition Rates for Kindergarten through Grade Eight:
In 2023-24, tuition is calculated based on the “Cost to Educate” for each child, but this is not what families pay. ALL FAMILIES benefit from the subsidies of the Parent/Teacher Club, the Annual Fund, and the School Foundation. Therefore, one child’s tuition is $8,150.
| One child | Two children | Three children | |
| Cost to Educate | $9,820 | $19,640 | $29,460 |
| Subsidized by: Parent/Teacher Club Annual Fund School Foundation |
-$1670 | -$3,340 | –$5010 |
| Multi-child Assistance | -$815 | -$1630 | |
| Preliminary Tuition (before assistance) |
$8,150 | $15,485 | $22,820 |
Additional Assistance
We are able to keep tuition affordable by offering financial assistance based on an individual family’s circumstances. The following are available by an application process. (Application deadline is ongoing for the first two, and deadline is January 7, 2023 for Fulcrum. View “Tuition Assistance” page for information.)
- Financial Assistance (School)… This ranges from $500 to $2000 per child, based on need.
- Financial Assistance (Foundation)… This is approximately $300 per student, based on need.
- Financial Assistance (Fulcrum Foundation)… This is a standard $1350 per child for those who qualify.
Faith Community Scholarships
These are offered by any faith community who wishes to participate. Our four Whatcom County parishes have already committed. Each community sets its own standards, but most require participation in the life of the parish, including weekend attendance and regular giving of time and tithe. Note: The application for Faith Community Scholarships will be available here starting on March 1, 2023.
