2025-2026 Tuition Rates

Kindergarten – 8th grade

Ensuring our Catholic schools remain accessible and affordable for families in the southeast Omaha area is our top priority. The entire Consortium team is keenly aware of the financial challenges facing families, and we are happy to discuss the opportunities for financial aid for the upcoming school year. We want to make this transformational experience of a Catholic education available to families regardless of their financial situation.

Tuition for Kindergarten through 8th grade at Holy Cross, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Bernadette, Sts. Peter and Paul and St. Thomas More begins at the same rate. Discounts apply for families with multiple students, families who belong to one of our partner parishes and those with demonstrated financial need.

Tuition at the Dual Language Academy is listed separately below. The DLA has three tiers of tuition for Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten through 8th grade based upon household income.
