A commitment to affordability for QUALIFYING families
For generations, Catholic Central has helped parents form their children in faith and excellence. With the Catholic Promise, faithful families no longer have to balance giving their kids a great education by sacrificing other financial needs.

A commitment
to
affordability
for
QUALIFYING families

Beginning with the 2026–27 school year, qualifying Catholic families will see annual tuition at Catholic Central reduced from about $13,000 to $6,000, indexed annually for inflation. Families registered and in good standing at a parish in the Diocese of Grand Rapids may apply by submitting a statement of household income. If their income is $300,000 or less, the Catholic Promise Fund covers every dollar of tuition beyond the $6,000 family contribution.

How
will you
Raise
your
Kids?

This is one of the most important questions a parent can ask.

Quality Catholic formation at school has always been part of the answer - this is where you need to be.

But today, middle-class families who once formed the backbone of Catholic schools feel priced out. Rising costs force faithful families to stretch meals, skip vacations, and make hard sacrifices, yet still find that Catholic education doesn’t fit into the budget.

Removing the Financial Barrier

The Catholic Promise enables access for everyday families.

POWERED BY OUR PEOPLE
