Dear Parents and Students:
In my weekly letter his week, I will attach the
tuition and re-registration letter
that you will be receiving later this week in the mail. I want to share with all current SJND parents that the SJND Board of Trustees has approved a four (4) percent tuition increase for the 2019-2020 academic year which will set the tuition rate at $18,860.00. For the past two years, the Board has approved rates of only one (1) percent increases in tuition. This four percent increase is in keeping with our peer schools in the Bay area and the Diocese of Oakland and also maintains the level of excellence in our SJND academics and co-curricular programs, retention of our professional staff, and the maintenance and safety of our beautiful SJND campus.
The Board and I are very grateful of all of the sacrifices that are made by you as parents, so that your sons and daughters may attend an outstanding college preparatory high school like SJND.
As always, thank you for your support! Go Pilots!
Mr. Jennings
Principal
