Since 1892, Sacred Heart School has worked to foster faith formation, provide a high-quality education, and to teach 'others before self'. In our friendly and welcoming atmosphere, we strive to make the presence of Christ felt throughout our classrooms, playground, extra-curricular activities, and the entire school environment.

We sincerely believe that the investment you make in your child's future by sending him / her to Sacred Heart School, is one that will reap many benefits in these formative years.

Cost of Education

The actual cost to educate each student at Sacred Heart School is approximately $8,600. Our parish believes in the mission of providing a high-quality Catholic education. Therefore, Sacred Heart Parish pays for a large portion of each Sacred Heart School student’s education. This is made possible through the generosity of Sacred Heart parishioners and those who donate to the Sacred Heart School Annual Fund. Additionally, those who volunteer at the annual Sacred Heart picnic, PTA & Booster Club fundraisers, and those who purchase SCRIP cards are all helping raise money to offset the actual cost of education at Sacred Heart. Thanks to this, we are able to offer a tuition rate that reflects only a portion of the true cost of education.  

Non-Parish Members

Sacred Heart School has a two-tiered tuition rate: Parish Members and Non-Parish Members. Since non-parish members do not contribute to our Sunday church collections (helping offset the amount the parish pays toward each student’s tuition), they pay an additional amount per student for their tuition. 

 

Tuition Credit and Assistance

In addition to the discount provided by Sacred Heart Parish for all school families, there are several opportunities for tuition credit and/or assistance. These options can reduce your out-of-pocket tuition expenses. See below for details.

 

Tuition Credit - SCRIP Program

Sacred Heart Parish utilizes the SCRIP Card program which allows families to earn tuition credit by purchasing retail gift cards to local and national retailers, restaurants, hotel / travel vendors, and more. These gift cards generate rebates which can be applied as credit towards a school family's tuition. Rebates earned are split 50 / 50 – 50% of the rebate can be applied to your tuition while 50% remains at Sacred Heart School as a fundraiser. Depending on the amount of SCRIP Cards purchased, many families earn between $50 -$500 in tuition credit annually.

To participate, a family must complete a SCRIP Card Agreement and create an online SCRIP account (online ordering is not required, but an account is necessary for rebate tracking purposes). For more information, visit our SCRIP page under the Giving / Support tab, or CLICK HERE.
