Tuition
At St. Catherine of Siena Academy, we’re committed to transparency and simplicity with our academic all-inclusive tuition model. For the 2026–2027 school year, tuition is $16,925, covering essential academic resources, class fees (including AP exams, art, and STEM), student life experiences (like yearbooks, class t-shirts, and parking permits), academic guidance, learning support, and Wellness Center access.
A $500 sibling discount applies for families with multiple daughters enrolled, and a non-refundable $600 deposit per student is due at enrollment (applied toward tuition).
Additional costs include electronic devices, uniforms, pay-to-participate fees ($300 per activity for athletics, drama, robotics, HOSA, etc.), and the senior graduation fee ($600, due July 1).
Flexible payment plans are available through FACTS (pay in full, 2, 4, or 10 months—finance charges apply on 10-month), with financial aid readily accessible to support families. The first payment is due July 1.
This structure allows us to maintain small classes, personalized instruction, and a nurturing Catholic environment—delivering exceptional value for your daughter’s education.

Academic scholarships are awarded based on HSPT scores, not financial need, and do not require a separate application. These awards are renewable each year and are contingent on continued academic performance.
In addition, essay scholarships are one-time awards recognizing students who demonstrate strong character, leadership, and faith. Essay submissions are included in the online admissions application.

Learn MoreTuition Assistance
SCA understands and appreciates the financial commitment and sacrifice families undertake in deciding to send their children to a Catholic school. And although paying for education is first and foremost the responsibility of the family, St. Catherine Academy and the Archdiocese of Detroit devote significant funds each year to assist families in bridging the gap between what a family can afford and what it costs to attend St. Catherine Academy. Every effort will be made to award some tuition support to eligible candidates. Students may be eligible for a grant each of their four years at St. Catherine Academy; however, families must apply each year. Awards are not automatically renewed.
