Dear Shrine Parents and Stakeholders,
We have successfully completed the first semester of the 2021-2022 school year. We could not have done it without you. Your continued support of our programs, prayers, patience, and collaboration have greatly contributed to the success of our community. This partnership marks the fundamental difference which sets Catholic education apart from public and charter schools. Our students understand that they have a team behind them setting high expectations and praying for their success. Parents sacrifice time, treasure, and talent to provide a Catholic education for their children. Catholic educators go above and beyond, choosing to teach in a faith based, mission driven environment for significantly less compensation that their public-school colleagues. The entire Shrine parish community supports our school through prayer and contributions.
We’ve begun planning for the 2022-2023 school year and as part of that the re-enrollment process has begun for all our grades. To keep pace with rising expenses, support our teachers and solidify our future, we are increasing tuition rates by 3% across grades K-12. This increase will allow us to uphold our commitment to retain our dedicated faculty and staff through competitive salaries and benefits. Re-enrollment and registration fees for the 2022-2023 school year are $250.00 per returning student. Re-enrollment closes on February 18, 2022. After this date, the re-enrollment fee will be $350.00 per returning student.
Finally, we commit to providing you and your student the exceptional education you expect and deserve for your investment in Shrine Catholic Schools. I personally thank you again for choosing Shrine Catholic Schools.
Because of you, we remain a vibrant and academically excellent school in the Archdiocese of Detroit. Education is a right; Catholic education is a gift. On behalf of your child(ren), thank you.
God Bless,
Joanne Swan Jones
Head of Schools
