​​​​​​Tuition and fees are charged for the following types of activities:

• Educational programs and related activities at schools
  

• Daycare and similar services at parishes and schools
  

• Other ministerial and educational activities (e.g., after school sports, music, sports camps, and retreats)

Achieving a balanced budget, with a reasonable surplus, is essential. The pastor, principal and finance council meet regularly throughout the year to monitor income and expenses. The principal in consultation with the pastor, finance council and regional superintendent, plans the annual budget, including a preliminary and adjusted budget.  This is presented for approval to the finance council.​

T​o determine the actual expenses, and to establish the appropriate tuition and fees, the following factors should be considered:

• Wages and benefits

• Maintaining physical plant (e.g., utilities, insurance)

• Supplies and materials

• Technology costs

• Location and travel costs

• Demographics of the sponsoring location or entity

• Financial resources of the sponsoring location or entity

• Other sources of revenues

• Fund-raising ability

• Comparison with other entities providing similar services
  

• History of charges and increases at the location

 TUITION and FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2025-2026.pdf.  

Below is the summary breakdown for 2025-2026:

Our Lady of the Assumption School is an educational ministry of Our Lady of the Assumption parish. We provide a Catholic education primarily for families who are members of the parish.  It is expected that all school families contribute to support general operations of the parish. This year we anticipate increased expenses due to inflation and the ongoing significant utilities charges, healthcare and insurance increases.  We must budget to appropriately compensate our staff as well as cover all expenses, so in 2025-2026 we are increasing our tuition by 5%.  Other fees remain the same as previous year.

REGISTRATION
Payment of the per student registration fee guarantees student’s placement for the upcoming school year.  Registration for both returning and new families begins in February each year, and then increases each month.  Deadlines apply for submitting registration forms and payment. Registration is non refundable.

TUITION
Tuition​ is the principal source for income and vital to the continuation and support of all programs as well as instructional and support staff.  

SCRIP (Gift Cards)
Each gift card purchase earns a percentage ‘commission’ that benefits the school.  Each family must earn a total of $350.00 in this commission during the year.
