Affordable Tuition

Making Catholic education accessible

Think you can't afford Catholic school? Think again.

Let's Find a Way

If you desire a Catholic education for your family, we believe that you should have that opportunity.

Each school sets its own tuition rate and has multiple tuition discounts available at both the elementary (K-8) and high school levels.
Families need not be Catholic to enjoy the benefits of a loving, nurturing, values-based education at our schools. Students of all backgrounds are welcome.

Tuition assistance is available from a number of private and parish-based programs including grants, endowments and reductions in tuition based on individual need.

How Our Schools Are Funded

We understand the financial commitment our families make to provide their children with an education at an Archdiocese of Omaha School.
However, tuition only covers a portion of the cost to educate a student at our schools.
The remaining amount is provided by parish support, private donations, grants and tuition assistance resources.
