We would encourage you to take a look the high schools as a place for your child to learn and grow. The high schools exist to educate students in spirit, heart, mind and body within a Catholic framework of gospel value to become the best possible members of their families, communities, church and world in a safe environment.
At the high schools we have a 99.5% graduation rate and 92% of our graduates go on to a 2 or 4 year post secondary school to further their education. We also offer several college in high school courses and advance placement courses to challenge students academically. These college in high school courses are approve as college level courses and will be accepted at several of the area colleges.
What does an education like this cost? Well it may be more reasonable than you may think. The average person thinks that it will cost $4,750.00 to send a child to one of the schools. As a matter of fact, it may cost you much less than that. The average parents’ out of pocket expense for the 2005-06 school year after the financial aid has been awarded was $2,850.00 or $237.50 per month. This will depend of your family’s financial status. We use a private company out of the Cleveland area, Private School Aid Service (PSAS), to rank our families from the family in most need of financial assistance to the family in least need of financial assistance and aid is assigned accordingly.
For the 2005-06 school year we gave out financial aid out of three (3) different funds.
Diocesan grants. This money comes from the local parishes to help other Catholics obtain a catholic education. In order to qualify for this grant you must be a roman catholic between grades 9 -12 with a signed active memoriam of understanding with your parish priest. Last year we distributed a little over $1,600,000.
