Tuition/Fees/Aid | John Paul II Catholic High School

Choosing JPII for your child is a commitment to a faith-based education where Catholic ideals and identity are stressed. It is an investment in your child both academically and spiritually.

Naturally, one of the biggest concerns a family addresses when considering a private education for their child is the cost. Within the limits of our funding, we try to make a Catholic high school education available to all who desire this opportunity. Our tuition and fees are very competitive relative to other private schools in the area.

Balot Family Scholarship
The Balot Family Scholarship was established to provide rising 9th and 10th grade students access to a college preparatory Catholic education at John Paul II Catholic High School. The Balots believe all students who exhibit hard work and a strong will to succeed, regardless of faith and background, would benefit from a private education at JPII. To be eligible for the scholarship, students need to be enrolling for the 9th or 10th grade and the family must demonstrate financial need based on the FACTS Grant & Aid financial assessment. Generally speaking, historically the Grant & Aid assessment has not shown financial need for families with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $100K or greater.

The Balot Family Scholarship can provide up to $6,300 of the $7,500 in annual tuition and may include enrollment fees as well. Scholarship recipient families will be responsible for at least $100/month for 12 months each school year.
