    Families choosing this option will pay tuition over 10 months: July 2016 through April 2017

Past Due Tuition

Families with tuition arrears will experience a loss of enrollment status. If alternate arrangements are not made by the 30th of the month, the child/children will not be admitted to school until the tuition account is current. Families need to contact the Business Manager at (314) 373-8250 or (314) 799-6405 to discuss such situations and arrangements.


WITHDRAWING FROM SCHOOL

Families who transfer from St. Louis Catholic Academy before the conclusion of the school year are responsible for tuition payments for all full months attended (enrollment for at least five school days in a month will count as a full month).

Families who have paid in full at the start of the school year will be refunded for all full months not attended.

All other fees are neither refundable nor prorated.


Special Note:

Parents/Guardians should be aware of the expense in operating a school and in providing their children with a quality, Catholic education.

Families need to accept the financial responsibility that education involves.

In situations where there are unforeseen financial difficulties in the family, it is the parents’/guardians’ obligation to notify the Business Manager at (314) 389-0401.

A financial review committee will work with willing families in developing a fair and equitable solution in meeting their responsibilities to the school.
