Founding Family Promise

Become a Founding Family & Lock in Tuition until Graduation

 

We believe in the power of community and the importance of trust. At St. Joseph Academy, we invite you to help us with the successful launch of this private Catholic school by becoming a Founding Family.

By applying as a Founding Family by June 1st, 2025, you will receive:

  • Tuition Lock Guarantee – The tuition rate you pay for your child’s first year will remain fixed for the following four years.

  • Exclusive Founding Family Recognition – Be part of our legacy and shape the future of our school together.


As noted on our website, tuition for Kindergarten is $600/month ($6,000/year) and for Grades 1-8 it is $800/month ($8,000/year). The registration process is completed with the first month’s payment as a deposit.
 

Tuition will gradually rise over the years to keep up with inflation, however, a Founding Family will have the benefit of having their 2025 rates locked in for many years with thousands of dollars in savings.

This is the Board’s way of rewarding the faith and early support of families who believe in our mission and providing them long-term financial relief. Spaces are limited - reserve your child’s future in private Catholic education today!

 

Can a family with child(ren) not yet old enough to apply to receive the Founding Family Promise?

 

We are thankful that there are families with infants and toddlers that are excited about the prospects of St. Joseph Academy. We want these families to be able to take advantage of this initiative and reward their trust. They can become a Founding Family by submitting a deposit of $600 per child prior to June 1st. This non-refundable amount will apply to the tuition of Junior Kindergarten when the time comes.
