B. Lodge & Co.





 

Application and Application Fee: The admission process begins each February with the Saint Ambrose student application, and, for current St. Ambrose students in grades 1-8, a financial aid application.  The process also includes a holistic evaluation of the child's readiness for our Pre-K and Kindergarten programs.  This assessment for our Pre-K and Kindergarten program includes a classroom visit.  It is highly recommended, too,  that students applying for admission to grades 1-8 also spend a day visiting the school and meeting the teachers and our present students.  Should your child successfully complete assessment and the visit, s/he will be invited to register for the upcoming school year.  There is a non-refundable $100.00 registration fee for families with one student and $175.00 for families with more than one student.  Once the fee is paid, the child's seat in the class will be held until the first non-refundable tuition payment is made on August.  Tuition is paid on a 10-month payment plan (11-month plans are available.) through FACTS Tuition Management Company.  

The School Board also approved a revised registration fee schedule:
One child- $100.00

Family- $175.00

*The activity fee will supplant any further collection of money for student field trips or classroom activities.

 A registration of any student is completed when the registration fee is received. Thank you.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS  (GRADES 1 - 8)
Tuition Assistance:  There are numerous financial assistance programs available to help parents of St. Ambrose students in grades 1-8 meet their tuition responsibilities. There is no financial assistance for our Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten programs.  Parents, though, who have two or more children attending St. Ambrose School, one in kindergarten and the other(s) registered in grade 1-8, are eligible for financial assistance.
