Financial Aid

Tuition assistance is available! See the financial aid page for more information.

In-Diocese rates are offered to all children registered at any Diocese of Metuchen parish. Families must provide proof of parish registration. Please note that the In-Diocese rate is based on the principle of Stewardship. It is expected that parents contribute to the parish by using their time, talent, and/or treasure towards the mission of their home parish, which, in turn, strengthens Saint James School. Parishioners are expected to use the parish envelope or Faith Direct systems where available and attend Mass on a weekly basis.
