Tuition Plans

Tuition may be paid annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly for 10 months. Payments are due the first of each month.

New families are required to make the first tuition payment with registration fee to guarantee placement on student roster.

Annual (1 payment): full payment of all tuition and bus charges, due on or before July 1. If you selected this plan and make full payment by the due date, you are eligible for a pre-payment incentive discount (PPI): $50 for 1 student, $75 for 2 students, or $100 for 3 or more students ($100 maximum discount).

Semi-Annual (2 payments): total payable in two installments due July 1 and December 1.

Quarterly (4 payments): total payable in four installments due July 1, October 1, December 1, and March 1.

Monthly (10 payments): total payable in ten installments due the 1st of each month beginning July 1 through April 1.

Payments are expected to be made on or before the due date(s) of the payment plan you select. For payments to be on time, they must be received in the Finance Office by 2:45 p.m. on the payment due date indicated on your account statement and they must equal the entire amount due on your account. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check, money order, and Visa or MasterCard. Payments not received on time may be assessed a late charge of 1.0% (12.0% annual rate) on the overdue balance. Such charges may continue to be applied and accrue monthly until all tuition due is paid in full.

The tuition due for students who withdraw from school during the course of the academic year will include all charges through the end of the month in which the student withdraws. For example, a student who withdraws on October 10 will be liable for tuition charges from July 1-October 31. Any family wishing to withdraw must satisfy their obligation regarding tuition due through the month of withdrawal before academic and other records will be released.

All tuition and other fees paid are non-refundable.

Past Due Accounts
If difficulties arise in meeting your tuition obligation, please contact the principal or the Finance Office as soon as possible. Every reasonable effort will be made to assist you in continuing your child's education at Mother Seton School. However, please realize that assistance funds are limited to those with the most urgent need.

Failure to meet financial obligations will have the following consequences until full payment of all outstanding amounts is made:

  • The school may withhold report cards and deny access to Power School until the account is brought up to date.
  • Families whose accounts are consistently in arrears will be asked to withdraw from the school.
  • If a student is graduating, records will not be released to any high school and student will not be permitted to take part in graduation and other eighth grade activities.
  • If a student is transferring to a new school, academic records will not be forwarded.
  • Students wishing to return to Mother Seton School will not be allowed to re-register.
  • Delinquent accounts may be turned over to a collection agency or pursued in District Court.
  • Costs incurred in the collection of the outstanding debt will be added to the total due.
