Nativity Catholic School has a long history of making Catholic Education affordable for a widely diverse community. Nativity Catholic School and Parish are pleased to continue this tradition for the 2021-22 school year. Since tuition alone does not cover the cost of a Nativity education, all families receive some support from the yearly financial investment from Nativity parish. Each school year, Nativity parishioners support the school with nearly $200,000.
Qualifying for Tuition Assistance
• A student must be currently registered for the next academic year.
• There must be a demonstrated financial need for tuition assistance.
