Tuition for the 2010-2011 school year is comprised of 1. Tuition, 2. Fees, and 3. Family/HSA Fundraising. *Note: Fundraising fees
can be earned back through fundraising opportunities and the SCRIP program. Realizing that many of us are in hard economic
times, we tried to keep our costs at a minimum and, therefore, the rise in tuition as low as possible.
Please note that we ask families to respect the deadline of February 19, 2010. New families are invited to visit the school
and review an official contract at our Open House, February 2, 2010. Preference will be given to in-house students before February 19,
2010. After this date, students will be placed according to the date the contract is received and space available.
Scholarships are available from the Diocese of Metuchen & Saint Philip and Saint James Parish (forms are available at the SSPJ School Office). Families must apply for Diocesan financial aid (due before March 31, 2010) prior to applying for Parish financial aid.

Fees for 2010-2011 School Year
One time registration fee for new students is $250.00 per child paid upon acceptance, and is non-refundable.
For families who are not registered, participating members of the parishes which financially support Saints Philip and James School, there is an additional $900.00 per student fee except in Pre-K.
An additional $800 family fundraising goal is included in the above total cost for first child K-8 and each PK child. This is paid per family -- NOT per student.
Parish Subsidy
$900.00 - Per student of Active Family*, or paid by family if not active and registered in a Roman Catholic parish in the Diocese of Metuchen. If the parish card is not signed and returned, the $900 becomes the parents' responsibility.
An ACTIVE family is one that is registered in a parish, attends Mass regularly and gives of their time, talent, and treasure to the work of the Parish.
Fundraising/Volunteering
As parents of our students, in order to meet the costs of educating our children now and in the future, it is expected that you will:
- Be an active member of the Home/School Association by attending scheduled meetings and paying $30 in dues.
- Assist with and participate in our various fundraising projects during the school year, including the carnival, Spirit of Christmas, and our 50/50 Raffle.
- Pay fundraising charge of $800 that will be refunded in full or part at the end of the year after June 30th. (Fundraise to earn all or part of your $800 back. The charge allows our families to choose to participate in fundraising.)
- Volunteer 25 hours (per family) from June 1, 2010 until May 31, 2011. Please note: one BINGO shift and two Carnival shifts must be included in the 25 hours. A fee of $20.00 per hour will be assessed for missing hours. You will receive a summary of your volunteer hours before the end of the school year.
Payment Options
Payments can be made in two ways:
- The total amount due, including the fundraising fee, payable on July 15, 2010 with a 3% discount (on tuition amount only).
- Over 10 months through the FACTS program; fundraising fee will be paid in 10 equal payments.
