Tuition and Fees

At Holy Family, we are committed to affordability and ensuring that every dollar you invest in your child's future through Holy Family Catholic Schools helps to enrich the lives of your family.

 

Tuition at Holy Family is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • All Iowa families are eligible for an Education Savings Account to use toward tuition.
  • To help keep out-of-pocket tuition costs affordable, our 11 supporting parishes will contribute to offset tuition costs.
  • Additional deductions, such as scholarships, School Tuition Organization (STO) assistance, and other local tuition assistance may further reduce out-of-pocket costs for both in-state and out-of-state families.

Please contact Director of Enrollment Rebecca Mueller at 563-582-5456 to schedule a visit or discuss your family's individual tuition plan.

“I am so thankful for the solid AP and dual enrollment options at Wahlert Catholic High School. If one assumes the average cost of tuition, room and board, fees and books at college is $30,000 per year, we have more than broken even when looking at Wahlert tuition paid over four years versus the amount of college credit our son graduated with from Wahlert. He started college with 41 credits from AP and college classes. Ten of them are from AP Spanish alone.  All of freshman year and half of sophomore year were completed before setting foot on campus thanks to these offerings. And this doesn’t even take into consideration the scholarships earned from being academically well-prepared at Wahlert. We are thankful!”
– Cheryl, Holy Family parent
