Prospective Family Open House
Each January we hold a Prospective Family Open House during the school day so that families can see our school in action. There are two sessions, a morning and an afternoon. Each session begins with a brief presentation giving an overview of our school, followed by small group tours through our facilities. Please call the school office to make a reservation for our Prospective Family Open House.

Tuition and Fees
The school is financed, in part, by tuition and fees that each family pays. The remainder of the amount needed to cover the cost of running our school is made up by parish revenues. As such, our in-parish tuition rates are offered to families who regularly attend mass and are involved in parish life at St. Pius X Parish. We ask that if you are unable to make a regular financial commitment to the church, at least let us know that you are attending mass by dropping an envelope in the collection basket.

FACTS Tuition Management
All parents must register their children through the FACTS Tuition Management System. Parents may pay their tuition in full by June 30th, twice a year in July and December, or monthly on the 5th or 20th. Parents who do not pay in full will incur a FACTS processing fee. Parents may choose to pay with a credit card, however, credit card processing fees will not be covered by St. Pius X. The processing fee will be a 2.85% charge added to each credit card payment. All changes to your FACTS account payment frequency and payment method must be made at least 10 business days before the next payment.
If a family falls behind on tuition payments, they will be notified by FACTS Tuition Management. We ask that you let us know if you are experiencing difficulty paying tuition so that we can set up a payment plan that is acceptable to all parties. Tuition must be paid for report cards to be released and transfer of records to occur. Please refer to BOTCE Policy 405.5 and 406 on the web site for more information.
If you would like to apply for financial aid, you will need to apply through FACTS under the Grants and Aid section.
