The decision to invest in Catholic education is one that pays back for a lifetime in college and career opportunities, faith-development, strength of character, and friendships to last a lifetime.
The Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Newark offer a considerable value for a private education that promotes college readiness and supports spiritual development, with the aim of keeping Catholic education attainable for all. Our Catholic schools educate students at a far lower cost than is spent by public schools in New Jersey, where the average cost to educate a student each year tops $22,000.
The Archdiocese of Newark offers tuition assistance through the Scholarship Fund for Inner City Children, which provides partial tuition assistance to economically-disadvantaged children attending private and parochial schools within Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Union counties. Many of our schools may also offer financial assistance to families who qualify. To inquire about assistance at individual schools, please contact the school office directly.
