Tuition & Financial Aid

An education within reach

St. Therese is a vibrant Catholic school and church community, and students and families of other parishes or religious affiliations are just as welcome. Regardless of your financial situation, we will gladly work with your family on scholarship options or other creative solutions to make St. Therese possible for your student.

K-8 tuition

Tuition is billed through TADS, our online tuition and enrollment partner, and must be paid in full by the end of the school year. Families requesting aid complete a financial aid form through TADS; decisions are confidential and made by the pastor and principal. No St. Therese parish family is refused admittance because of an inability to pay the full amount.
