| Frequently Asked Questions |
1. Do we have to be Catholic to attend your school?
|
Absolutely not. Bishop Flaget is open to all students regardless of faith. In fact, we are about 10% non-Catholic. We encourage all who desire a high quality, faith-based education for their children to take the opportunity to learn more about our school. |
| 2. What do your students do after they graduate from the 8th grade since you do not have a high school? |
Our 8th grade graduates continue onto one of the area high schools or Fisher Catholic High School in Lancaster. The majority of our 8th grade students finish up at Chillicothe High School; however, it often depends on what district they live in as to where they attend high school. Our students excel at all the area high schools and often graduate in the top 20% of their class. Bishop Flaget students report that they are more than prepared for high school and that they consider their transitions to be very easy. |
| 3. Is there financial assistance available to non-Catholic students? |
YES! This year we have been fortunate enough to set up scholarships based on need for our non-Catholic families. You may download the scholarship application here. |
| 4. Do you have a payment plan? |
We have several payment plans that make tuition payments easier. Most families choose the monthly payment plan which spreads your tuition payments over 10 months: July-April. Other options include quarterly, semi-annually, or one lump sum payment. Those who pay tuition in full by August 15th entitled to a $100 per child discount. |
| 5. What are the tuition rates for 2009-2010? |
First Child - Parishioner: $2750, Second Child - Parishioner : $2100, Third Child - Participating: $1450, Non-Parishioner Rate: $4750, PreKindergarten: $1900. |
| 6. Why is the Catholic rate lower than the non-Catholic rate? |
The parishioners of St. Mary's and St. Peter's parishes are very blessed to have church families who support them in their effort to educate their children in the Catholic faith. Therefore, the churches subsidize the tuition of the Catholic students. We encourage non-Catholic families to speak with their home churches about working with us to make their tuition more affordable. |
