OUR SCHOOL
Our Financial Model
How can we offer the most affordable private, Catholic education in the Boston area?
For nearly 100 years, Cathedral High School has been committed to providing a transformational Catholic education to all students, regardless of ability to pay.
At Cathedral, we walk the talk.
Our commitment is steadfast that every accepted scholar has a path of opportunity paved for them, and we don’t let finances get in the way.
$15,700 base tuition vs. $25,000 average
The average cost of a Catholic high school education in the Boston area is around $25,000, a very daunting number.
Here at Cathedral, we absorb significant costs upfront to offer a much more palatable base tuition of $15,700.
$7,850 Opportunity Grant for every scholar
Each and every admitted scholar is awarded the Opportunity Grant to cover 50% of tuition. The Opportunity Grant is Cathedral’s commitment to reducing financial barriers from the get-go and ensures no family pays more than $7,850 for their student’s annual tuition.
Up to 100% of a family’s costs are covered
Every Cathedral scholar is considered for both need-based and merit-based assistance, covering up to full tuition.
Your Generosity Fuels Life-Changing Opportunity
Our financial model is not magic. We are able to stand behind our mission thanks to the generosity of so many.
- Cathedral’s Board of Trustees along with incredible individuals, companies, and foundations partner with us and share our belief in the potential of our brilliant scholars.
- The Cathedral Fund, lifted by the annual generosity of Cathedral’s loyal supporters, fills the annual operational gap.
- Our historic $60 million Cathedral Now, Cathedral Forever campaign has created a mission-sustaining endowment that will fund Cathedral High School in perpetuity.
