Hello,
Today, we hosted our second annual Crusader for a Day event. We had 11 students visit for a tour or spend time as a part of a shadow day experience. Both years we have had 11 visitors so that is great news. We are continuing to work extremely hard for Loyola and to make sure we offer a very competitive menu of options for academics and activities while growing our culture and spirit. We know very well this is a cooperative effort between the school and our entire school community. Thank you for your ongoing support and promotion of Loyola as we are continuing to see growth and progress forward.
Continuing in the theme of growth, we have two big evenings coming up. Monday, March 19th we have our first of two evenings of Kindergarten Round-up. The second evening is Monday, April 1st . The 1st will be a busy night as we'll also be hosting our second annual High School Information Night. This is for anyone interested in high school atLoyola and our current 7th and 8th grade students and parents are welcome to attend as well. We are changing it up a bit this year though as we'll dive deeper into the teaching and learning that takes place in the high school including a look into our course offerings. We will also look at our other menu of options including activities and clubs.
Have a great weekend!

2019/20 TUITION ASSISTANCE
We are excited to roll out our new Financial Aid application platform called FACTS Grant &
Aid. We know you understand the value of a Loyola education and that as a part of the Loyola family, we know that you are making financial sacrifices to educate your children in the atmosphere and tradition Loyola provides. Thank you!
Loyola Catholic School is able to provide tuition assistance to K-12 families who provide documentation of their financial need, via FACTS Grant & Aid. By offering tuition assistance, Catholic education becomes affordable for more families who desire a partnership with us.To start the financial aid process for 2019/20, click here
