Tuition, Fees, Grant & Aid
The success of St. James School relies upon the commitment of families to be actively involved in their children’s education and to make tuition and fee payments on a timely basis. The school relies upon these payments to provide an excellent educational and spiritual program operating on a balanced budget.
We realize that for some families seeking a Catholic education, tuition costs may bring financial hardship. The Catholic Education Foundation, the Archdiocese of Louisville and funding partners are helping more families than ever who cannot afford the full cost of educating their children in a Catholic elementary school. For the 2024/2025 school year, a record $8.3 million was awarded to an all-time high 3,750 students!!! For information on tuition assistance through CEF, click HERE.
Through The Catholic Education Foundation, The Kremer Foundation, Community Catholic Center, The Archdiocese of Louisville, St. James and St. Brigid Parishes, financial assistance is available for students in kindergarten through 8th grade.
