Tuition & Scholarships

The Academy of St. Benedict is a tuition-based private Catholic school. Tuition payments ensure that we can continue to provide the best possible educational environment for your child by paying teachers' salaries, buying new books/supplies and covering general operating expenses.

 

The Academy of St. Benedict has scholarships available for families who qualify, thanks to the Archdiocese of Chicago, Big Shoulders Fund, and other supportive donors. We are committed to making our educational program available to families of varied economic backgrounds. We approach tuition on an individual basis and work with each family to determine financial aid awards.

 

Awards are given to students in Pre-K through 8th grade and are determined on basis of need and the availability of funds. We want to do everything possible to make your dream of a Catholic education a reality for your family.
