Tuition Rates and Fees

The tuition rates for the 2025-26 school year have been approved by the St. Cecilia Parish Finance Council. Tuition rates and school fees are listed below. We would like to inform you that reciprocal in-parish tuition rates have been adjusted for the upcoming school year. This change has been made to reflect the varying financial needs of parishes that support their own schools. As some parishes have schools that require additional funding, the new tuition structure ensures that we can continue to provide quality education while supporting all of our parishes equitably. In-parish rates are reciprocal for St. Cecilia, St. Barbara, and St. Matthew.  Families must be in active status by May 1st to receive Active Parishioner rates.

St. Cecilia School recommends a monthly payment plan, although we are willing to take payment in full. Monthly payments would begin in July 2025 and end in June 2026. This must be set up with FACTS for automatic withdrawal.

All tuition payments and fees are nonrefundable.

Each family must complete a Tuition Payment Agreement Form to set up the tuition payments. This form may be returned with the required printed forms from the online registration process. If you have any questions, please contact the school office at (859) 363-4314.  Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
