    It can vary widely, depending on how much support a school gets from its parish(es) and diocese.

    Per YEAR, we pay $400 for the first child, $200 for the second and $300 for the third for elementary school. High school is $1200 for freshmen, $1300 for sophomores, $1400 for juniors and $1500.

    Our schools are some of the most affordable in the nation. I hear of Catholic elementary schools that charge $400 a month or higher.

    Hi Hope. I found this information from the National Catholic Educational Association:

    Tuition fees paid by families constitute a portion of the actual per pupil expenses. The average per pupil tuition in elementary schools is $3,159 which is approximately 53.8% of actual costs per pupil of $5,870. About 93% of elementary schools provide some form of tuition assistance.

    The secondary median freshman tuition is $8,182which is approximately 80.0% of actual costs per pupil of $10,228. About 97% of secondary schools provide some form of tuition assistance.

    The difference between the per pupil cost and the tuition charged is obtained in many ways, primarily through direct subsidy from parish, diocesan or religious congregation resources and from multi-faceted development programs and fund-raising activities.

    I'm sure it varies a great deal from one place to another. I'm in the archdiocese of Los Angeles and there's a wide range depending on the region you're in. (I'm also assuming you meant elementary or secondary school and not college. You can edit your question if you'd like to be more specific with grade level and region of the U.S.)

    high school, about 7000-9000.

    Trust me a catholic school is the way to go. Your kid or kids will grow up to be respectable, they dress appropriately, and dont hang out with thugs
