STUDENT REGISTRATION

Each spring, new and returning Scotus families are asked to complete the Scotus Registration Form to help us prepare for the upcoming school year.

2025-26 SCOTUS REGISTRATION FORM

Columbus Catholic Schools are committed to making quality Catholic education accessible to all families. Our financial aid program offers support through needs-based tuition assistance and scholarships to help bridge the gap between the cost of education and a family’s ability to pay. Families are encouraged to apply for financial aid during this time to ensure they receive the support they need.

Only new students who have not previously been apart of Columbus Catholic Schools (St. Anthony, St. Bonaventure, St. Isidore and Scotus) will also need to set up a FACTS account as part of the registration process.

At Scotus Central Catholic, the health and safety of our students is a top priority. To ensure we are prepared to support your child’s well-being, we require families to complete and submit all necessary medical forms before the school year begins.

2025-2026 Grades 7–12 Physical Form

Asthma/Allergy Action Plan
Diabetes Action Plan

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.
