It is our goal to make an education at Saint Paul accessible financially to as many families as possible. Our tuition and fees are well below the national average for boarding schools. In addition, National students may inquire about financial aid. International families will be pleasantly surprised to learn how affordable a Christ-centered education is at Saint Paul High School. Saint Paul provides for three different types of students.

Day student: Tuition, courses, regular fees and weekday meals.

Boarding student, US citizen: Tuition, courses, regular fees, room (with roommate), and 20 meals per week

Boarding student, international: Tuition, courses, regular fees, room (with roommate), and 20 meals per week cost.

When you contact the Admissions office, indicate which tuition fee sheet you are interested in and the appropriate information will be sent to you. We are delighted to e-mail, fax or mail the information to you. Contact one of our admissions counselors at 660-463-2238

Other fees

Some courses and excursions, for example, have associated costs that are not included in the cost of tuition. Please note also that the room and board charges do not include vacation times when the school is closed or the costs for incidental spending, travel, laundry, shopping or personal expenses. Further information about costs is available in our online admissions packets.

Payment plans and discounts

US students may divide total costs into nine monthly payments or a payment can be made prior to each semester (two semesters per school year). International students are also allowed to pay by the semester. There is a finance charge of $100 for either the 9-month or pay-by-semester options.

US families with two or more children concurrently enrolled at Saint Paul are eligible for a multiple family member discount. Tuition is reduced for the second and subsequent siblings, based on concurrent enrollment.

US students who are not receiving financial aid are eligible for the "lump sum discount" program. By paying for the entire school year by August 13 a boarding student can reduce costs by about $864; similarly a day student can reduce total costs by about $520 per year. More information is available in the financial aid forms for US students.

Financial Aid

US students may apply for need-based financial aid. Further information and the appropriate forms are available in the financial aid forms for US students.
