Tuition/Fees

Entrance Requirements

Children entering Kindergarten must be 5 years of age by September 1. Please call Epiphany Early Childhood Center at (941) 484-8556 for preschool entrance requirements.

Prior to admission the following documents must be provided to the school office: Health records including current immunization record, birth certificate (original), baptismal certificate copy (if Catholic), report cards, standardized test results. The school, for the purpose of appropriate grade placement, may require additional testing.

For all new students, the first semester will be a probation period. If there are any academic or behavioral concerns that cannot be resolved during this trial period a student may be asked to withdraw from Epiphany Cathedral School. Parents are strongly urged to be part of this evaluation by working closely and communicating with the teachers.

Catholic schools in the Diocese of Venice give priority for admissions to students of families who are registered and participating in a Catholic parish. Other students are accepted on a space available basis, taking into consideration the following factors:

~ whether the student’s brothers and sisters are currently enrolled in the school

~ whether the student is/has been previously enrolled in a Catholic school

~ whether family members are alumni of the school

~ the results of standardized tests and/or review of the previous school records

Tuition/Fees

The tuition at Epiphany Cathedral School is $6200 per child for K-8, with a parish subsidy of $1000 to all practicing and registered Catholics. Families not affiliated with a Catholic parish are required to pay the full per pupil cost of $6200 per pupil. Catholic families with sufficient incomes are expected to pay the full tuition amount of $5200 per student. Catholic families with financial need may apply through FACTS for parish supported scholarships and assistance (see tuition assistance).

Catholic feeder parishes will be responsible for (subsidy/financial assistance up to half of the amount of per pupil cost). For Epiphany School families to be eligible for ‘subsidy’ a Mass Attendance with Sign-in Policy has been established by our Pastor. If the student Mass attendance (50%) requirement is not met on a continuing basis, the parish subsidy of $1000 as well as any additional financial assistance will not be available. Feeder parishes request that families register and use parish collection envelopes.

Tuition may be paid in one of four ways; one annual payment, two equal semi-annual payments, four equal quarterly payments, or ten equal monthly payments. All payments, except the one annual option, will be made by automatic withdrawal and administered by the FACTS Management Company. Graduation and/or forwarding transcripts is contingent on the return of all library and textbooks, payments of all fees and fines due, and payment in full of tuition. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable.

Tuition Assistance

Financial aid, funded by The Epiphany Foundation, Inc., along with the Epiphany Angels Program, and several Catholic community scholarships, is available to registered Epiphany Parish families who demonstrate financial need for K-8. For an information packet on tuition assistance, contact the principal or school office. Financial aid amounts are based upon the cost level determined by your income status. Final approval comes from the pastor/principal after recommendation via the ‘FACTS’ Management Company.
