As we approach the end of the calendar year, it is time to begin our re-enrollment process. We look forward to welcoming back students for the 2024-25 academic year. All current students will be automatically re-enrolled for the upcoming school year. You do not need to complete an admission application unless you are adding a new student. The $125 per student registration fee will be reflected on your February Blackbaud Tuition statement.

Tuition for 2024-25

Our Board of Specified Jurisdiction, (BSJ) has reviewed the budget for next year accounting for both our operational needs and local inflation. After careful review of our expenses, they have developed a balanced budget with an overall tuition increase of 4%. We are grateful to the BSJ for their work on the budget and keeping the tuition rates affordable.

For proper placement, planning purposes, and to take advantage of the early registration discount, we ask that parents enroll new students before February 1st. Should you have any questions regarding adding a new student, please email Mrs. Kolbus in the admission office or call: 224-587-8053.

Questions? Contact Mrs. Kolbus.
