Tuition and Fee Information

Tuition Rates and Fees

Because the school is part of the spiritual mission of the parish, all parishioners subsidize the significant gap between the cost of operating a school and tuition charged. Active parish members who send their children to our school also enjoy a reduced tuition rate. School families accepting a reduced tuition rate are asked, as active parishioners, to close the gap voluntarily through regular participation in parish financial stewardship and to be especially attentive to participating in parish life through consistent weekly worship at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.

As a convenience to families, nearly all additional fees are included in the single tuition payment, which may then be conveniently paid in installments (see below). There are no additional fees for field trips, retreats, assignment notebooks, milk, or small supplies.

Here are the tuition rates for 2023-2024:

There are some additional fees, such as:

$325 Registration Fee (non-refundable)
Extended Care Programs
Parish Auction/Gift Gathering Parties
Athletics
Parent Engagement
School Picture Purchases

Additional Tuition Rate Reductions & Assistance *

* We are a private Catholic parish and tuition-based school. We do not participate in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program.

Tuition Assistance Program

Our pastor, Fr. Phillip Bogacki, never wants finances to be an obstacle for a family that truly desires a Catholic education for their children. The financial need for the Tuition Assistance Program of Christ King Parish is based on 175% of the government established standard of poverty. Additional allowances are made for families having documentation of excessive medical expenses or other unusual circumstances. Families requesting financial assistance should complete a tuition assistance form. For reference, the 2023 limits on gross income from all sources are:

School Tuition Payment Options and Billing & Collection

Payment Options

Option 1 – One-Time tuition payment, usually due on or before the last day in July
Option 2 – Bi-Annual EFT payment plan: 2 installments, beginning the last day of July and January
Option 3 – 11 Month EFT payment plan: 11 consecutive payments on the 25th of each month, July-May.

Collection Options

All payments, regardless of plan chosen, are collected electronically through our partner, Blackbaud, and NOT handled by Christ King. Any checks received at the parish office in error will be returned and you will be redirected to Smart Tuition to make your payments (electronically). All invoices will be sent electronically to the authorized email submitted at the time of enrollment through Blackbaud.

Please note: changing financial conditions will not negate tuition agreements. Considerations for such circumstances will be made by renegotiating the agreement with the Parish Business Office of Christ King. If the financial obligation to Christ King is not met, registration for the following year will not be accepted and student records will not be forwarded until the matter has been resolved. If a school family does not support the Parish by responding to the Stewardship program, the school family will be responsible for the full cost per student as a non-member. A $40.00 Fee will be assessed for any and each electronic payment that is past due. Any payments returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF) will have an additional $30 fee assessed that will not be waived, as it is a charge directly to Blackbaud from their bank. A refund of tuition will be made during the first 10 school days of the current school year. Following the 10-day time period, tuition is non-refundable. A student transferring out of Christ King during the school year is responsible for the full year’s tuition.
