I want to thank you all for your continued support of Catholic education and Saint Albert. As we celebrate our school’s 50^th anniversary this year, and our students’ ever-growing list of accomplishments we look to create a vibrant campus and community for the next 50 years (if you are not a Facebook follower, please like the “St. Albert” page to get a daily update of student achievements).

We have some GREAT news! As a welcome to new students and families, the Area Board has approved:

· Reduced Kindergarten Tuition. Please see the tuition schedule listed below for the new rate. If your family is a member of a supporting parish and qualifies for CTO, your monthly payment can be as low as $50 per month.
· New Student Welcome Credit (NSWC). New families with students in grades 1st-12th will receive a $500 per student grant for the first year they enroll at Saint Albert.

· The Continuation of $500 Referral Credit. If a new family (grades K-12^th -- excludes current Pre-K families) lists your name as a referral on their enrollment paperwork, your family receives a $500 referral credit off your tuition bill.

I thank all of our current families who continually spread the positive news about our cradle to college school system. Word-of-mouth is the best recruitment tool, so I encourage you to share these great new initiatives with any family who may be considering Saint Albert. We have an upcoming Shadow Day - May 6 - and are happy to make any other date work if an interested student wants to spend a day at Saint Albert.

As a parent of four children who attended Saint Albert, I understand it is a financial sacrifice for families to send their children here. But my family’s investment was worth every penny. With our traditions of academic excellence, strong spirituality, and commitment to community, our students thrive in a close-knit, Catholic community that provides over 30 advanced and college credit courses, and over 40+ enrichment activities, all on a safe, disciplined campus.

If you have concerns about tuition, I encourage you to apply for CTO before April 1. Click here to apply and use school code 450 and password cto450 to apply. If you qualify and are a parish member, your monthly payment could be as low as $50 per month for Kindergarten and $100 for elementary grades. Feel free to contact me with any tuition questions.

I am proud of this Saint Albert community and the outstanding education and faith formation our school provides. This is all possible because of the commitment of our local parishes and our dedicated parents. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to the next school year with all of you.
