Dear Families,
We hope you all had a good spring break! It is that time of year again, registration for the 25-26 School year starts this month.
We know you chose St. Francis de Sales High School for your child because of the education and opportunities provided, which includes teachers who know your students name and their learning style, faculty and staff that care both about your child’s academics and for who they are as an individual, and a school that prepares students for college success and for community building. We are more than a school. We are a community, one that believes in the importance of providing this education to all students, not simply those whose families can afford full tuition.
We spend well over $11,000 each year per student to fund their education, but our families pay much less. We are able to do this through grants from foundations, through donations from alumni and friends who are invested in the Southeast Side of Chicago, through our Work Study Program that provides students real work experience and through the support of our long time partner, Big Shoulders Fund. As a Big Shoulders Fund Plus school, we are provided academic and professional development support, marketing and development expertise, scholarship support for students and operational grants.
As a Big Shoulders Fund Plus School, we have now switched over to FACTS Tuition Management System. We believe that switching to FACTS will improve our tuition process for families and for the school.
The registration process for 25-26 includes the following steps:
Create your FACTS account and apply for Financial Aid through this same link : https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/41ZKQ
Please note that when you create your account you will be required to link a bank account or debit/card to your account.
There is also a fee that you will need to pay depending on the type of payment plan you select
Make an appointment to re-register before April 30.
Tuesday from 10:00am - 1:00pm or
Thursdays, April 17 and 24 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm.
To make an appointment, please email Ms. Flores - mflores@sfdshs.org
Families that register by April 30th will have their registration fee discounted from $250 to $100 that must be paid at the time of registration.
Once registered, your tuition contract and financial aid award letter will be sent by June 15th. Remember, the sooner you register, the sooner you can lock in your tuition rate!
