Why is tuition for half-day kindergarten the same as for the full day elementary program?
A. Tuition for St. Joseph school is determined based on the cost of educating students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. The total cost of educating your student is spread across these nine years to keep the tuition affordable and competitive. Families are encouraged to look at and commit to the whole program, Kindergarten through Grade 8, when making decisions about Kindergarten. Kindergarten is an integral part of our whole elementary program, offering a class day that extends beyond the typical Kindergarten program, and offering the same quality education and specialists in PE and music as our full day elementary program.
