Tuition

See the current tuition schedule here.
Tuition may be paid in full in August preceding the school year.  In July, an invoice is mailed to parents who have indicated their desire to pay tuition in full.  Payment may be made by check or via the FACTS Tuition Management System.

Should parents choose to pay on a monthly basis, payment must be made via the FACTS Tuition Management System.  Login to the system to create/update your account.  

Financial Aid is available through the Diocese of Metuchen and Saint James School.  Applications are due by March 31 of the prior year (applications for 2023-2024 are due by March 31, 2023).

For the continued financial health of Saint James School, all financial obligations must be met as agreed upon when a student is registered, and your contract is signed.  The main contributing factor to a school closing is poor tuition collection.  Families who are overdue in tuition payments will receive correspondence from the parish business office and/or school administration to assist the family in meeting tuition obligations.  Failure to respond to these attempts may result in students being asked to leave Saint James School.  If, by the third marking period, a family is in financial arrears the student may be dismissed from Saint James School and a grade of “INComplete” will be placed on the student’s record. 
The school reserves the right to cancel the re-registration of any student whose family fails to meet tuition payments to the school. 

Should a family make the decision to withdraw their children from Saint James School, the following policies apply:

Tuition paid in full:  A refund will only be given for those months in which the student is not registered.  For example, if a student withdraws in December, the family will be refunded tuition for January – June.
Tuition paid monthly:  Payments in FACTS will be turned off at the end of the month in which the student was withdrawn.  For example, if a student withdraws in December, FACTS payments will be turned off effective January 1.
