TUITION FOR 2009-2010 SCHOOL YEAR
Be it known to all who attend St. Francis Borgia Regional High School that Christ is the reason for our existence. He is the unseen ever-present teacher in all our classes. He is the model of our faculty and staff and the inspiration for our students.
After careful consideration, and a review of our budget for the 2009-2010 academic year, we were able to limit our tuition increase to $150. A contributing factor in minimizing the tuition increase during these difficult economic times was the announcement that the archdiocese was going to freeze salaries for the coming year. It was a difficult decision to implement this freeze, but one that they felt was necessary. We commend our staff for being so gracious in the manner they accepted the freeze.
Those of you who have more than one child enrolled are again eligible for a tuition reduction of $1000. This will be in addition to the more than $275,000 that we will be able to award in tuition assistance and scholarships.
This combination, of a limited tuition increase and having financial aid available, goes far in holding true to our mission of providing a Catholic education for all families who desire one. We know that our tuition is still a financial struggle for many of you. You need to know that we will work with you to make this Catholic high school education feasible.
Please be mindful that the $6,050 does not reflect the actual cost of educating your child. The actual cost is well over $8,000. We are very fortunate to be able to undercut the cost of education because of the generosity of our greater Catholic community and our numerous on-going fund raising efforts here in the high school. Our Endowment Fund, the Dinner Auction, grants from the diocese, the success of the annual Borgia Fund Drive, our dedicated support organizations, and the generosity of our numerous Borgia benefactors help us subsidize tuition. Please, be generous with your gifts of time, talent, and treasure; this will help us ensure that Catholic education in the Washington Deanery will continue to be available to all.
This financial support enables us to continue to offer our quality Catholic education, thus achieving the academic excellence for which we are known. We are pleased with the success of all of our Borgia students, and we hope that you will recognize our commitment to keeping our quality Catholic education as manageable as possible. Our tuition remains one of the lowest among the Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, and with your help we will keep it that way.
If you have any questions, problems, or concerns please do not hesitate to call George Wingbermuehle at 636-239-7871, ext. 115.
