Our Catholic schools are exciting places!

We look forward to meeting you.
One of the best investments you will ever make in your family
Most families address tuition with payments over nine months’ time, but we are happy to set up a payment plan that works for your situation. We have scholarships and grants available to help offset a portion of the costs for families that financially qualify.
Pope John XXIII Central Catholic High School and St. Boniface Elementary School admit students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
We do offer a hot lunch program, many families are eligible for a government lunch subsidy, which helps cover the majority of the meal costs.
We have students attending our schools from many area towns and we do offer bus service through Pope John or Elgin Public Schools to many locations. Other parents are often happy to carpool, if you need help transporting your child.
The yearly family bus fee is $600, which is required for Pope John students and optional for St. Boniface students.
We believe that all families who want to provide their children with a Catholic education should have the opportunity.
Scholarships are available for qualifying families with students in any grade. Your application will be held in the utmost confidentiality.

Our schools thrive because of our dedicated parents
Parental involvement helps make our schools a success! We couldn’t do it without you. Our schools receive no federal or state funds to help pay for operating costs. Both schools are 100% privately funded. The money to operate the schools comes from supporting parishes, tuition, private donations and fundraising.
You play an important role in fundraising. There are various parent committees and projects that all parents are asked to participate in. This involves working at things like pancake breakfasts, events, dinners, and selling items.
These events provide needed funds for the school to operate and also build a sense of community and stewardship among the parents in our schools. Often times you will work along side someone you may never get the chance to meet otherwise.
