Tuition & Financial Aid

TUITION

2024-2025 Tuition

  • Full Rate (grades K-8): $7,300
  • Active Parishioner* Rate (grades K-8): $5,700

Registration Fee

A nonrefundable $110 fee per child is due at re-registration. It is not part of tuition. For new students, a $120 registration fee is collected at the time of application. For current families, this fee was due February 5, 2024, and was billed through FACTS.

*Active Parishioner

As a parish school, we have a vital relationship with St. Gertrude Church. The school exists as a ministry of the parish. Parish financial support of the school is essential to maintaining the budget. Families that participate in parish life of St. Gertrude Church receive a reduced tuition rate.

Active parish families:

  • are registered in the parish,
  • participate in the Sunday liturgy,
  • place parish envelopes in the collection basket regularly,
  • contribute time and/or talent to the parish or school, and
  • give an active Catholic witness.

FINANCIAL AID

Catholic Education Foundation

The Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati accepts applications for elementary school (K-8) tuition assistance grants. All grants are needs-based and can be used at any Catholic elementary school within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Typically, awards have ranged from $250 to $1,200 per qualified student. 

Complete a FACTS Grant and Aid application by inputting financial information (such as sources of income, assets, and household expenses), including your prior year tax return and W2s. FACTS then uses an internally built calculation to determine financial need based on the family’s ability to pay. The deadline for CEF applications is February 24, 2024.
