Tuition & Financial Aid

Rosati-Kain is very upfront about our financial requirements. We have the lowest tuition of any all-girl Catholic high school in the entire St. Louis metropolitan area. This means your daughter is getting a college preparatory, Catholic education for an outstanding price.

Actual Cost to Educate an R-K Student= $8,990 per year

Tuition Charged Per R-K Student= only $7,450 per year (which includes a $200 registration fee)

For the 09-10 school year, our tuition is $7,450 for Catholic families. (Tuition is higher for families not registered in a Catholic parish, to make up for the contribution made by Catholic parishes to the ACA each year.)

How can we keep tuition so affordable?

A large grant is given to R-K from the Annual Archdiocesan Catholic Appeal
Support of one of the most active and generous Alumnae Associations in St. Louis
An Annual Fund Appeal supported by our generous donors (many of whom are proud alumnae who wish to make R-K affordable for future students)

What are the "hidden" costs?

At R-K, what you see is what you get. Our tuition total includes all books and workbooks for school, class retreats and technology fees. Students are not required to purchase a laptop.

Additional costs of freshman year:

Purchase of dress code shirts (plaid skirt is optional)
Graphing calculator (used for 4 years of math)
P.E. uniform (used for 2 years of P.E.)

A $200 registration fee applied toward tuition (which is included in the tuition figure above)
