About Saints Philip & James School

Tuition for the 2012-2013 school year is comprised of 1. Tuition, 2. Fees, and 3. Family/HSA Fundraising. *Note: Fundraising fees can be earned back through fundraising opportunities and the SCRIP program. Realizing that many of us are in hard economic times, we tried to keep our costs at a minimum and, therefore, the rise in tuition as low as possible.
Preference will be given to in-house students before February, 2012. After this date, students will be placed according to the date the contract is received and space available.

Scholarships are available from the Diocese of Metuchen & Saint Philip and Saint James Parish (forms are available at the SSPJ School Office). Families must apply for Diocesan financial aid (due before March 31, 2012) prior to applying for Parish financial aid.
