TUITION AND AFFORDABILITY

Please review our current tuition and fee schedule. The school’s Tuition Policy and Enrollment Policy are agreed to upon enrollment.  

In Parish/Participating Catholics (Grades K-8)

For participating Catholic families, we are able to offer a discounted tuition rate due to the generous support of our Deanery and Blessed Sacrament Church, who support Blessed Sacrament School with subsidies for their parishioners.

To qualify for the Catholic tuition rate, each year Blessed Sacrament must receive a Parish Subsidy Request form signed by your Pastor.  

Out of Parish/Participating Catholics (Grades K-8) 

All grade levels: Additional $1000.00 per child (only for out of parish churches with schools). Sibling discounts are available. See policy on school subsidies.

Non-Participating Catholics and Non-Catholic Rate (Grades K-8)

The full tuition rate applies. No sibling discount.

Pre-Kindergarten Tuition

The Pre-Kindergarten rate is the same for all students.

Student Fees

Fees vary by grade level and cover essential materials and technology provided at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School. These fees are due in the 1st installment of the payment plan and are non-refundable.

Student fees cover the cost of the necessary classroom materials, textbooks, activities, campus security and technology that we provide for your children. Fees for the current year are below and are updated in February for the upcoming school year.

Chromebooks are a required purchase for 5th Grade students (and new students in 6th-8th). Students use Chromebooks in upper school for daily assignments. The Chromebook will be released to families upon graduation from 8th grade or withdrawal.

Financial Assistance

Blessed Sacrament School is committed to making a Blessed Sacrament Catholic Education affordable and accessible to support students of all backgrounds and faiths, regardless of their financial means. We see the Catholic Tuition Rate as a form of financial assistance, which applies to 75% of our student body, with about 12% of our student body receiving additional financial assistance.

To qualify for the Catholic Tuition Rate, families must complete a Parish Subsidy Request form, and submit it to the school each school year during the enrollment window.

POLICY ON SCHOOL SUBSIDIES FOR THE SAVANNAH DEANERY

The Policy on School Subsidies was proposed and drafted by a committee of the Priests, in conjunction with the Principals of the Catholic Schools in the Savannah Deanery, which met on December 9, 2014 at Blessed Sacrament Parish. It was voted upon and approved by all the Priests of the Deanery at the January 6th meeting. This policy ensures fair tuition practices across the Savannah Deanery, including Blessed Sacrament Catholic School.

At the meeting of the Priests of the Savannah Deanery, which took place at the Benedictine Priory on January 6, 2015, the following policy was proposed and accepted unanimously by the Priests:

  1. No parish which has a parish school will pay any subsidy to another Catholic school for a student whose family chooses not to attend their parish school, unless there is no room for that student in the parish school. At the discretion of the Pastor, a subsidy may be paid for a student to attend another Catholic school when there are special circumstances or needs.
  2. Each Catholic school in the Savannah Deanery should have a three-tiered tuition schedule. There should be:
  • An In-Parish Catholic Tuition
  • An Out-of-Parish Catholic Tuition
  • A Non-Catholic Tuition

The difference between the In-Parish Catholic Tuition and the Out-of-Parish Catholic Tuition will be $1000.00. This will also be the amount of subsidy paid on behalf of each student by a Parish which has no Catholic School. Students will continue to qualify for parish subsidy based upon the criteria established by each individual parish.
