Tuition Rates and Information

This year we are again offering families the choice between the Faithful Steward Plan or Full Cost Tuition Plan. 

What is The Faithful Steward Plan? 

The Faithful Steward Plan is the best way to register your children for Saint Mark Parish School. You set your own level of commitment of Time, Talent, and Treasure for the school year, rather than having the school set them for you.  

To qualify, a family will commit to:

1) Attend Mass faithfully on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation at Saint Mark Parish at least 75% of the time, and put their Sunday envelope into the collection basket every time they are at Mass as an outward sign of their stewardship.

2) Be active in parish ministries and school activities and complete the volunteer hour reporting form as an outward sign of their stewardship.

3) Faithfully fulfill a pledge to tuition payments that they set for themselves at a financial facilitation meeting.

4) Use their stewardship commitment card annually in the fall to make additional commitments to the parish of prayer, ministry involvement, and offertory giving (what we commonly refer to as Time, Talent, and Treasure).

 

To participate in this plan, please fill out the Family Covenant Form and return it to the school office.  You will also need to meet with a parish financial representative.

What is the Full Cost Tuition Plan?

 If the Faithful Steward Plan is not right for you, then you can choose to enroll your children using the Full Cost Tuition Contract.  The full cost for each child is as follows: 

One Student   $6,105       Two Students $12,210.00     Three Students $18,315.00

            To participate in this plan, please fill out the Out of Parish Contract and return it to the school office.

In addition to either plan,

As part of the Tuition Agreement, in addition to payment of tuition, parent(s) or guardian(s) must agree to the following items:

If a family is unable to meet their obligations as defined in this contract, it is the family's responsibility to inform the Principal or Pastor.  Every effort will be made to reach a mutually satisfactory solution to a demonstrated hardship and to assist the family through such financial difficulties with complete confidentiality.  All such information will remain confidential.
