Tuition & Fees

The parish for the purpose of providing quality education in the context of the Catholic faith maintains St. Kieran School. St. Kieran School is first and foremost a Catholic, not a private school.  In order to keep Catholic education as affordable as possible, the parish subsidizes the operating costs of the school.  Families who are new to the parish should arrange a meeting with the Pastor who will explain these criteria and establish their eligibility for the parishioner rate of tuition.

Parishioners of St. Kieran Church are offered a reduced tuition package that reflects the parish support of the school.  Non-parishioners are expected to pay a tuition that reflects the actual cost of educating a child at St. Kieran School.
