Tuition Changes for St. Charles & All Diocesan Schools
Moving from subsidized tuition to full-cost tuition while staying affordable - more details on pages 2-6
Dear Parents - In the week before Christmas, Bishop Rhoades initiated sweeping and immediate changes to the Diocesan tuition policies, the Diocesan Teacher salary scale (a long overdue increase), and Teacher tuition benefits affecting all 43 schools in our Diocese. These are positive and necessary changes for the long-term success of all our Catholic schools. I have created two documents entitled ‘Diocesan Policy Changes - Tuition’ and ‘Tuition Assistance & Scholarship Opportunities’ below that more thoroughly explain the tuition costs and the opportunities for financial assistance available to all families.
Approximately 75% of our students in grades K-8 qualify for, and utilize, the Indiana Choice Scholarship (Voucher). On pages 2-4 you will find examples of tuition estimates regarding families who utilize the Indiana Choice Scholarship.
