The following is Carmel Catholic High School’s tuition and fee schedule for the 2008- 2009 school year:
- Tuition: $8,160.00
- Non-Refundable Registration Fee: $150.00
Tuition entitles students to take up to six classes during the school year as well as to participate in most clubs without additional charges. The registration fee includes the class registration fee, a copy of the yearbook, Harbinger, Parent Directory, class dues, and testing fees for the EXPLORE, PLAN, or PSAT test. Registration fees paid after February 29th will be $175.
All incoming freshmen are required to make a payment of $325 at the time of application. The payment is non-refundable for all students accepted into the freshmen class. The payment includes the $150 registration fee and a $175 tuition deposit.
Payment Plans
- Paid in Full before July 1, 2008 - $8,060.00 a $100 savings.
- Two Payment Plan due on or before July 1 and December 1, 2008. Total due: $8,160.00. Amount due each payment: $4,080.00.
- FACTS Monthly Payment Plan: Payments are processed via bank draft by FACTS Management. Payments are budgeted over ten months from July 2008 through April 2009 -- monthly payment of $823.50. The total tuition of $8,235.00 includes a $75 finance charge from the school. In addition, a non-refundable $35 service charge from FACTS will be charged to your account in June 2008. If applicable, scholarships and financial aid will be deducted evenly from each monthly payment. Graduation, retreat, and course fees will automatically be added to the FACTS account.
Please Note: A Tuition Preference Form must be completed to elect your payment plan. Current students will continue to be billed on the same plan as the previous year, unless a new Tuition Preference Form is completed.
If a student withdraws during the school year, tuition will be prorated by taking the number of weeks the student attended school and adding four weeks and then dividing the total by the number of weeks in the school year.
Student Fundraising
The cost of educating each Carmel student this year will be $9,072.00, while the tuition and registration fee charged is $8,310.00. Each student is, in effect, receiving $762.00 in financial assistance. Rather than charge the full cost of educating the student, Carmel asks that students participate in two fundraisers each year, the Street Scenes Ad Drive and Walk-A-Thon. The remainder of the difference between the cost of educating each student and the amount paid in tuition is made up of contributions from alumni and families to the Annual Fund and auxiliary services the school operates during the year. Because everyone benefits from the money raised in the fundraisers, everyone is expected to participate. Both the Ad Drive and Walkathon fundraisers are mandatory. Students who do not fulfill their quotas of $100 for the Ad Drive and $50 for the Walk-A-Thon will be required to pay the quotas on their tuition account.
Parental Volunteerism
Carmel Catholic High School is dependent on its parents to donate time and talent to support the school activities. Various parent organizations exist to facilitate parental involvement including the Parents' Club, Street Scenes, Athletic Boosters' Club, Carmel Catholic Counsel for the Arts, and the Volunteer Teacher Assistant Program. In addition, the Development Office has a number of projects in process, each requiring a number of volunteer leaders. While there is no requirement for parents to volunteer nor is there an expected number of donated hours, it is expected that Carmel parents will play an active role in the education of their child and in the life of their child's school.
Financial Assistance
Carmel Catholic High School is able to offer limited financial assistance of up to 50% of the tuition per student to families who qualify. Families of 8th graders who wish to apply for financial assistance should pick up an application form at the Business Office table during registration on March 6th. Families of students currently enrolled in the program will be mailed an application after registration on February 21st. All registered incoming and current Carmel students may contact the Business Office for an application. Applications can be completed online or by mail and must be submitted to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment in Lincoln, Nebraska. Please submit your application by April 1, 2008. The results of the applications will be mailed to Carmel and notification letters will be mailed in early June 2008. Only students who have completed the registration process at Carmel can be considered for financial assistance.
