St. Michael's Parish

At St. Michael’s, our goal is to provide students with a high-quality, well-rounded Catholic education at an affordable tuition rate. We understand, however, that every family has its own unique circumstances that come into play when selecting the right school for their children. Because we feel strongly that any parent who is interested in St. Michael’s should not be deterred from registering solely because of finances, we offer a Tuition Assistance Program to qualifying families.

The tuition rates for 2012-13 are as follows:

Early Childhood Program Rate

Preschool (3 yr old):	$950
Preschool (4 yr old):	$1,150
Transitional Kindergarten:	$2,600
Technology Fee per family:	$100

Family Rate (K- Grade 8)

One child:	$2,600
Two children:	$4,000
Three or more children:	$5,300
Technology Fee per family:	$100

Inter-Faith Tuition Rate: $3,800 per student


Tuition Assistance

All families are asked to apply for tuition assistance through the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston before applying through St. Michael Parish. Please note: Tuition assistance is available through both entities. For more information about tuition assistance, please contact SMPS Principal Sis Richardson at 304.242.3966.

SCRIP Program Offers Tuition Credits

St. Michael’s offers an optional SCRIP Program for school families to earn tuition credits. Families receive 50% of the designated rebate amount from any purchased SCRIP gift cards, plus a portion of purchases made with enrolled Kroger Plus scan cards. With SCRIP, families have the potential to save hundreds of dollars off their tuition statements. Families who choose to pay their tuition upfront can also participate in SCRIP and designate their earned credits to their child’s hot lunch bill or to their next year’s tuition statement. To learn more about how to get registered in the SCRIP program, please contact the Development Office or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
