TUITION

For the 2024-2025 school year, the cost to educate each student is $10,127 at Scotus. Thanks to the generous support of our community, tuition is set at $3,950 for Scotus students. This reduced rate is made possible through donations, fundraising efforts, and significant contributions from our supporting parishes—St. Anthony, St. Bonaventure, and St. Isidore Catholic Churches.

FAITH FORMATION AT SCOTUS

At Scotus Central Catholic, faith is at the heart of our mission. Rooted in Catholic teachings, we strive to cultivate a learning environment where students grow academically and spiritually. Through daily prayer, regular Mass, and service opportunities, students deepen their relationship with God, learn values of compassion and integrity, and develop a commitment to serving others.

To live out these values, we require all junior high students to complete service hours, and all high school students participate in the Living the Faith program. This program incorporates meaningful service in our churches, community, and schools, helping students put their faith into action and grow as compassionate leaders.
