Tuition and Affordability
At SCCS we are committed to partnering with families from a wide range of economic backgrounds. Our admissions process is an open conversation that provides financial clarity upfront around your decision to enroll. We keep our tuition rates affordable and provide financial aid for students from kindergarten through eighth grade based on household income and ability to pay.
The tuition schedule for the 2024-2025 school year will be shared with families in December 2023. Please see below for the current year’s tuition information.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
SCCS families have the opportunity to receive financial aid in three ways. We offer school-sponsored, need-based scholarships for families who complete an internal financial aid application process. SCCS partners with the Today and Tomorrow Foundation, a scholarship organization funded by the Catholic church to assist families pursuing private education in the city of St. Louis. TTEF provides scholarships to eligible St. Louis area families with students entering Kindergarten through 8th grade. SCCS also partners with The Herzog Foundation to participate in the MO Scholars program.
