Please know that our commitment remains steadfast in offering an enriching academic and spiritual experience while keeping tuition as accessible as possible for our families. In making such decisions, the Board of Directors consistently balances its commitment to excellence and the highest standards of education with affordability. Notre Dame Schools undertake robust fundraising efforts—including the Annual Fund, Giving Day, and other initiatives—to help bridge the gap between the actual cost of education and tuition. Rising costs due to inflation, increased goods and services expenses, and the need to attract and retain exceptional educators are key factors in tuition adjustments. 

The generosity of our community plays a crucial role in ensuring that a Notre Dame education remains within reach for families. The support of many dedicated individuals has helped build a strong endowment, and our Board remains committed to growing our financial aid budget each year. We are profoundly grateful to all who contribute to these efforts, as their generosity directly impacts students in need and strengthens our school community. 

Notre Dame Schools is dedicated to ensuring that every student currently enrolled will continue their journey with us in the 2025-2026 school year. We are especially thankful for the participation of our families in the EdChoice Scholarship opportunity offered by the Ohio Department of Education. This state-funded program provides all K-12 students in Ohio with the opportunity to receive a scholarship that may cover a portion—or, in some cases, the full cost—of Catholic school tuition. Families applying for Notre Dame Tuition Assistance must first apply for the EdChoice Scholarship, as the awarded amount will be factored into the overall assistance evaluation. 

Our Tuition Assistance Committee is here to support you every step of the way. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Director of Admissions, Mrs. Barbara Williams, at 440-279-1129. She will be happy to guide you through the tuition assistance process. If you wish to apply, please complete the online FACTS Grant and Aid application by March 31, 2025. 

Please be advised that you will need to confirm your intent to return for the 2025-2026 school year. Please complete the linked Re-Enrollment Form HERE no later than February 21, 2025, to hold a seat for your child.
