Tuition Assistance
Our goal is to make Catholic education available to everyone. Don’t think you can afford to send your children to St. Clare’s? Apply anyway. We work with each family to supply many different levels of financial support.
Big discounts for big families
St. Clare’s was founded to enable families to build a home and be part of an authentic community here in North Lake Tahoe. We want to be the home for your family to grow and thrive all the way through high school. Accordingly, we offer the following tuition breaks for siblings within the same household:
Student #1: Full Tuition
Student #3: 50% Tuition
Student #2: Full Tuition
Student #4 +: Free
All members of the Board of Directors volunteer their time unpaid as administrators, teachers, and Board members, and those Board members whose families are impacted by this tuition discount donate the difference in tuition saved back to the school.
2025/2026 TUITION & FEES
At Saint Clare's, providing a quality faith-based education at an accessible cost is a top priority. As with most private schools, tuition at Saint Clare's covers significantly less than the full cost of each child’s education. Fundraising and contributions from our community make Saint Clare's education possible for each of our students.
We know that each family at St. Clare’s has a different financial situation, and while some sacrifice and save diligently to make tuition each month, others are on more comfortable financial footing. Acknowledging this reality, we are offer two different tuition rates, based on what each family can afford. We also provide an aggressive financial aid program to ensure that all families who belong at St. Clare’s are able to attend.
For regular tuition paying families we offer a Plan A and Plan B tuition rate. Both rates leave us with a deficit between income and costs, however Plan A tuition rates give us a more manageable annual fundraising goal amount. We ask that each Golden Eagle family thoughtfully reflect on what your family is able to afford in tuition, and that you choose the amount that is right for you based on your circumstances. Your choice is completely confidential, and both plans will be considered full tuition.
Upon acceptance to Saint Clare's one month’s tuition plus an annual non-refundable $300 enrollment fee is required, along with a signed Enrollment Contract to reserve a space for your child.
