St. Bruno Catholic School offers the lowest tuition rates in the Diocese – both for Catholic and non-Catholic families. But, it’s not easy when costs of education keep rising sharply. Your low tuition comes from the generous parish subsidies of all our parishes along with continued and calculated fundraising efforts, which requires participation from all our families. For this, we are most grateful. Currently, the cost to educate just one child is in excess of $5,430/year. Parish subsidies and fundraising make up the difference of what it actually costs to educate each child. We ask that all families do their part in raising funds and supporting our churches so we can continue this discounted rate. We also still have the option of paying $750 per family to opt out of working their three required fundraisers and selling the 35 units, which will make up this difference in fundraising.
We are lucky to have wonderful donors that help to make our assistance possible. This year we had several students receive Empower Illinois scholarships to help offset the tuition cost. Please consider applying to Empower Illinois to help with your tuition.
