Parish Verification for Reduced Catholic Tuition ACTION REQUIRED NOW

The Parish Verification Google Form must be completed immediately. Only families who are registered, active, and participating members of a Diocese of Phoenix parish—and are verified by their pastor—qualify for the reduced Catholic tuition rate.

• Families without verified parish status will be billed the full tuition rate: $10,989 per student ($11,198 Preschool).
• Parish rosters will be submitted to the specified parishes on April 27 for verification.
• If you are not registered with a parish or have not completed the form by that date, you will be billed at the full rate starting in June.
• No adjustments to tuition status will be made until September 1, 2026.

On May 4, all remaining tuition balances will be moved to your AutoPay account for payment on May 15.  All tuition and fees for the current year must be paid by the last day of school to ensure future enrollment.

Please see the Tuition Assistance Page on the SJB website for instructions to check your balances and make your payment.

Here's the BEST Part: All students who purchase their 2026-27 1st Day School Supply supply box and complete the 2026-27 Innovation Learning Fall Registration before May 15 will receive a FREE Dress Day on Monday, May 18!

To support your child’s success, please ensure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive to school on time, ready to do their best.

                            *This is a CASH-FREE event —  eWallet only.*
