Tuition & Fees
Tuition Information
Families have three payment options for paying tuition:
- Pay in full - Families can pay in full by June 1 (and receive a discount for doing so)
- Monthly payments - payments begin in June and run through April
- Bimonthly payments - payments begin in June and run through April
Please review the tuition schedule at the bottom of this page for the discount that would be applied to your rate and number of children.
FACTS
St. Thomas More Cathedral School requires all families to use FACTS, an automated payment system, to process tuition payments. By using FACTS, you preauthorize your bank or credit card company to automatically transfer tuition funds to STM on the installment payment dates set up by the school. STM also uses FACTS to bill families for all incidental charges incurred during the school year. These include charges for books and materials, extended day usage, field trips, PTO dues, etc. To facilitate timely payment of all incidental expenses, we encourage you to consider enrolling in auto-pay for your incidental expenses account.
New families need to establish an account with FACTS. Please visit the FACTS website accessible via the button at the top of the page or by clicking here. Select “Start Here” and follow the prompts to set up a new user account.

Returning Families
All families who are currently signed up to make payments through FACTS will be automatically re-enrolled in the program in April for the upcoming school year. Please ensure that your personal and financial account information are kept current. If you need to make changes to your personal or financial account information, you may do so directly by logging into your account at the link provided on this page.
New Families
If you are a new family joining us for the upcoming academic year, you also need to establish an account with FACTS. Please visit the FACTS Login page accessible via the button above and click on “Start Here.” Follow the prompts to set up a new user account.
