- After‑school care (Beyond the Bell, BTB) is billed through FACTS on a nine‑month schedule (September–May). BTB monthly billing and any drop‑in charges are posted to FACTS.
- FACTS handles processing and supports multiple payment methods (electronic bank draft/ACH and debit/credit card). Credit card payments are accepted where enabled by the school and may incur a convenience/processing fee (amount set by FACTS or the school).
- The school may withhold student privileges or terminate enrollment for accounts two months in arrears unless an approved payment plan is in place. All payments for the year must be completed before students may sit final exams when delinquent balances exist.

- Uniforms: Students must wear approved uniforms purchased from authorized vendors (Lands' End, Tommy Hilfiger, School Spirit Shop USA, or via the school's Uniform Closet for used items). Parents are responsible for purchasing required uniform pieces and PE/gym clothing (middle school PE uniform is a required, monogrammed set). Specific item pricing varies by vendor and item.
Grants, scholarships and discounts that affect fees
- Participating Catholic Family Grant: USD 1,000 grant applied to each eligible child's tuition (Participating Catholic rate reflects this applied grant). Multi‑Child Family Grant: USD 870 applied to each additional child after the first (multi‑child reduction applies automatically per the family's status). State scholarship programs (Step Up for Students: FES‑EO and FES‑UA) and VPK vouchers may be applied toward tuition where eligible. The school also processes need‑based aid through FACTS Grant & Aid and offers internal scholarships (including an Adopt‑a‑Student program and parish scholarships).
Refund information
- If a child is withdrawn prior to the first day of classes, there will be no refund of two months of tuition. If a student withdraws after classes begin, tuition up to and including the quarter in which the student withdraws is non‑refundable. A portion of the New Student Enrollment Fee is non‑refundable. These terms form part of the family contract agreement.
Fee payment options and methods
- Tuition and incidental fees are invoiced and collected through FACTS Tuition Management. FACTS supports electronic bank draft (ACH), debit and major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) where enabled by the school; credit card payments may carry a convenience fee. FACTS also provides flexible schedules (annual, semi‑annual, quarterly, monthly) as configured by the school. Schools commonly offer an 11‑month plan (July–May) for Trinity Catholic School.
Notes on payment timing and obligations
- Families must sign the Continuous Enrollment Agreement at registration; continuous enrollment secures the student's seat and converts annual re‑enrollment into an opt‑out process. Tuition obligations remain in force under the Continuous Enrollment/Contract terms unless the family properly withdraws per the school's opt‑out/withdrawal process. Delinquent accounts may lead to suspension of student participation and withholding of final exams or records until accounts are made current.
