Family Income Cap Tuition 
     
 

At Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools tuition is based on a percentage of a family's income OR the actual cost to educate per student, whichever is the lowest.

  • Did you know that for the 2007-08 school year 77% of our families paid less than the full cost; the average cost for grade school was $2,111 and high school was $3,379?

  • The actual cost  for grades K-8 is $4,660 and for grades 9-12 is $6,238.

  • The percentage is 7% of a family's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).

  • Families with one student and an AGI below $70,000 the limit is 5%.
