Please know that the actual cost of education per student this year is estimated at $8,985.00 per student. Although we are able to offer reduced tuition cost to Catholic families, thanks to our generous parish subsidies, please keep in mind this “cost of education gap” must also be made up throughout the school year from fundraisers, activity fees, private donations, and most importantly the SJS Annual Fund. For active Catholic parishioner families, we are blessed to have generous subsidies of approximately $1,000 per child from the sponsoring parishes of Saint Joseph, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Saint Katharine Drexel, Good Shepherd, and Our Lady of Lourdes. This generous subsidy is reflected in the current tuition rates shown above. Active parishioner families are those registered with a local Diocese of Harrisburg Catholic parish who attend Mass each Sunday and on Holy Days of Obligation and who are stewards of their time, talent, and treasure in the life of their parish communities.
 
Please note: The tuition rates listed above include the annual Home and School Association dues, technology fee, and tuition management fee. The first tuition payment will be due on July 20, 2024, with 10 monthly payments ending on April 20, 2025. In addition, these rates do not reflect any additional financial aid granted through the Neumann Scholarship Foundation, through the Saint Joseph School Tuition Assistance Program, or through the supporting parishes. Financial aid packages will be mailed separately, with tuition responsibilities adjusted accordingly.
 
We recognize that the tuition of Saint Joseph School represents a sacrifice for our families. We pledge to make every effort to work together with our families to provide opportunities for financial assistance so that no student is turned away from Saint Joseph School because of money. Please contact Mrs. Lori Beauduy at lbeauduy@stjoesmech.org with any financial assistance questions.
 
Thank you for entrusting Saint Joseph School to work with you to build the faith and the future of your children.
