Tuition
| Tuition at St. Michael’s Lakeside School
- 2010-11
tuition is $2850 for the first registered Catholic
student and $2950 for the first non-Catholic student,
with a $500 discount for each additional student from the same
family. The difference between
tuition for Catholics and non-Catholics takes into account the financial
contribution Catholic families make to their parishes, which in turn
contribute to our Catholic schools. Non-Catholic churches do not
contribute funds to SMLS.
- Tuition
assistance is available. Please
request and fill out a tuition assistance form if you are interested.
- Families
desiring a Catholic education for their child/children will NEVER be
turned away due to an inability to pay any or all of the set tuition.
- The
actual cost per pupil, based on projected enrollment and expenses, is
approximately $5,000.
- The
difference between tuition and actual per pupil cost is made up through
our parish subsidy, rental income, and fundraising.
- The
subsidy, rental and fundraising income make up about 75% of the budget,
with tuition and fees comprising the remaining 25%.
- Families
are expected to help us make up the difference by actively participating
in our fundraising. Fundraising
activities include an annual Fall Work-a-thon, the Scrip program, two
rummage sales, hot lunch, an auction, and a carnival.
- Families
are also expected to volunteer, in the capacity that they are able,
their time and talents. Volunteer
opportunities include, but are not limited to, operation of the school;
sharing of expertise and talents, professional knowledge and resources;
help with projects; and the actual fundraising events. Volunteer service not only allows us
to get necessary work done, but also helps to build a strong community!
The Annual Fund is a separate drive to urge everyone to pray for the
success of SMLS and to make an additional financial contribution to a
separate fund that supports special projects, facility improvement,
curriculum and program development and other “extras” that are not included
in the regular operating budget. |
