Saint Simon Parish School is a ministry of St. Simon Parish and relies on the parish as a whole for financial, administrative, religious, and spiritual support. Those families who are active in the stewardship of the parish through participation in the life of the parish and who make contributions through their offertory giving are eligible for the In-Parish tuition rate, which is approximately $3,200 less per child than the Out-of-Parish rate. The offertory giving is tax deductible.
To qualify for the In-Parish rate, a family must fulfill all the following conditions:
New families are eligible to receive the “In-Parish” tuition rate after completing on line registration with the parish and enrollment in On Line Giving. Parish Registration and the Online Giving portal are accessible at stsimon.church.
The In-Parish status of all families will be reviewed annually during the school year, with the first review at the end of the first trimester. Families who do not meet the above conditions will be notified and the tuition status will be changed to “Out-of-Parish” retroactive to the start of the school year. Any family unable to meet the required conditions because of financial hardship or who is in need of financial assistance to meet tuition costs should contact the principal, Ann Kozlovsky, akozlovsky@stsimon.org. If you have any questions regarding the above policy or your tuition rate classification, please contact Joan Mibach, Parish Business Manager, at jmibach@stsimon.org.

If the tuition payment plan presents a problem to any family, the Principal must be contacted so that suitable arrangements can be made.
