St. Kateri School charges tuition and fees to meet the cost of educating our children. Although the actual cost of a St. Kateri School education is almomst double our stated prices, through the generosity of our parish we are able to offer these very reasonable rates.  We are committed to providing your family with the most affordable experience possible. We encourage all families to inquire about our customized financial aid packages.  We do not require any families to participate in fundraising. We take pride in our simple, transparent tuition structures so we have no hidden fees, no extra charges, and no fundraising requirement.
 

A limited number of part-time spots is also available for our Nursery and PreK programs. Please contact Tosha Grimmer at 518-382-8225, ext. 223 or principal@stkaterischool.org for information and rates.
