Superior Education at an Affordable Price
From the time it opened its doors in 1918, Cathedral High School has been committed to providing a superior education at an affordable price. Tuition is an investment in your child's future as Cathedral works to educate the hearts and minds of all students who walk the halls of Cathedral. Through the generosity of alumni, parents and friends of the school, Cathedral is able to offer financial aid to families with a demonstrated financial need.
Tuition for the 2025-26 school year is $18,480. There is a student activity fee of $1,050 for seniors, $800 for juniors, and $725 for sophomores and $1,400 for freshmen.
Tuition Assistance
Each year through the generosity of alumni, parents, students and friends, Cathedral is able to offer tuition assistance to students who might not otherwise be able to afford private education. In fact, Cathedral has awarded approximately $2.9 million in tuition assistance during the 2024-2025 school year. If you are hesitant to consider Cathedral for financial reasons, we strongly encourage you to apply for tuition assistance, as such assistance has made Cathedral a reality for many families!
Tuition assistance is provided in the forms of Cathedral Need-Based Aid and Choice Scholarship Vouchers. In applying for Cathedral Need-Based Aid, the Financial Aid Office will review your eligibility for a Choice Scholarship Voucher as well.
Merit Scholarships
Applicants for freshman admission can qualify for one of two types of merit scholarships based upon performance on the STS High School Placement Test. Learn more about Merit Scholarships.
Additional Expenses
In addition to tuition and the activity fee, students and families are responsible for items such as iPads, books, lunch (approximately $8.40 per day if purchased at Cathedral), Summer School (optional courses), and other miscellaneous co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
