TUITION

Please view our current tuition and fee schedule.

Blessed Sacrament has three tiers of tuition: 

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.

  • Catholic sibling tuition discounts:
    • 1st Child: Full Catholic Tuition
    • 2nd Child: $1000 Discount
    • 3rd Child: 50% Discount
    • 4th Child: No tuition charged

To qualify for the Catholic tuition rate, each year Blessed Sacrament must receive a Parish Subsidy Request signed by your Pastor.  More details on our Parish Subsidy policy are below.

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 below.

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.

PAYMENT PLANS

Payment plans include tuition, student fees, and Chromebook (if applicable). Managed in FACTS, our Student Information and Tuition Management Software at Blessed Sacrament School. New families will be required to set up a payment plan during the online enrolment process. Your family will be automatically re-enrolled in the same payment plan every year. To change your payment plan, please contact the Accounting Manager. 

Blessed Sacrament offers three payment plan options:

Option Payment Due

Two Equal Payments July 1 and December 1
10 Monthly Payments August through May

POLICY ON SCHOOL SUBSIDIES FOR THE SAVANNAH DEANERY

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.

This Policy 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.
