TUITION ASSISTANCE
Chesterton Academy of St. Serra strongly desires to offer affordable tuition. Families should not feel discouraged from applying due to financial reasons. While funds are limited, we encourage those who are interested in tuition aid to submit an application early. Many factors are taken into consideration for tuition aid which include income, family size, siblings enrolled in CASS and/or other Catholic schools, and parental employment in Catholic education. Merit scholarships based on availability - inquire to apply.
Chesterton Academy of St. Serra is committed to keeping down the cost of our tuition so every student can have an opportunity for the formational education we provide. We are thankful to our generous donors who provide for this initiative with their hearts and treasures [Matthew 6:21].
