As we prepare enrollment and re-enrollment processes for the 2025 – 2026 school year, we believe that the education your child receives at St. Francis Xavier is second to none and that it provides all students with their best opportunity to learn and grow, academically and spiritually, in the Catholic tradition that nourishes the whole person as a son or daughter of God. We believe in our faculty and staff and the extraordinary product they deliver. Thank you for the opportunity to accompany your children on their journey of faith, as they discover their gifts and develop as unique and unrepeatable individuals destined to change the world.

We do encourage all of our school families with students from Grades K – 8 to complete the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship new request or renewal form along with the Angel Scholarship form. These forms can be found on our school website, or call the school office for further information. Here is an EdChoice calculator to figure out your estimated scholarship. 

We look forward to another year of doing great things for all of us! 

 

Please note there is an increase in tuition in the following grades:

Grade 5 – Chromebook Charge – $300

Grade 6 – Camp Nuhop Charge – $200

We have incorporated these charges into tuition since scholarships are limited to covering tuition costs and cannot be applied to fees.

We encourage all families to apply to the EdChoice Expansion and Angel Scholarships. 

 

Angel Scholarship Opportunity  – Additional financial assistance is also available through the Angel Scholarship. We also encourage ALL of our school families (K – Grade 8) to take advantage of this scholarship offered by donations made by our parish and school families. This scholarship provides additional financial aid assistance for families in need. If you are a recipient of the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship, you need to complete the Angel Scholarship application. If you are NOT an EdChoice Expansion scholarship recipient, you need to complete the FACTS form. FACTS FORM is DUE ON April 1

 

To apply:  Families apply through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment

  • It’s imperative to note that schools have a responsibility to authenticate the enrollment status and assess the financial need of all applicants. This steps ensures fairness and accuracy in the Tuition Assistance allocation process.

What are the responsibilities of the FAD student and school to share with the participating donor? For successful participation in the FAD program, both students and school have specific obligations: 

• Fund A Dream recipients must provide certain basic information such as name, grade, and other essential information to the respective donor. 
• Student progress communication throughout the academic year; the school initiate communication regarding the student’s progress. This allows the donor to understand the impact of the contribution and stay informed about the student’s educational journey.
• As part of this commitment, each school will extend an invitation to donors to attend an all-school mass during Catholic School Week to meet the student. This event promotes unity, gratitude, and a sense of community among donor and the student.
• Continuation of Funding: It’s essential to understand that while the Fund A Dream program offers invaluable support, continued assistance for a student in subsequent years is not guaranteed. Recipients’ and their families should remain proactive in exploring and securing other financial avenues for the long-term  educational funding.
