You’ll Love Our Schools

Our Catholic schools are exciting places! Your child will want to be here, learn here and grow here. Girls and boys find other girls and boys of similar values and common interests. Families mingle and become friends for life. The Catholic school community provides support, a sense of belonging and friendship like no other.

Visit our classrooms today and you will find students sharing and learning in a Christ-centered community. Our school embodies all of the rich traditions of our Catholic faith, while welcoming families from many backgrounds and Christian denominations.

Our average student to teacher ratio of 8:1 will ensure your child receives individual attention.

We look forward to meeting you.

Let’s Find a Way

One of the best investments you will ever make in your family

St. Boniface Elementary School (preK-6th grade)

At St. Boniface, most families address tuition through payments over ten months’ time.

PreSchool Program
Our PreSchool program runs Monday through Friday and offers a morning session from 8:05 am -11:30 am. Cost is $100 per month/child for 10 months or about $5 per day. If you need help transporting your child to/from local daycares before or after preschool, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Kindergarten- 6th Grade
The average monthly payment for members of St. Boniface parish for grades K-6 is about $170 per month/child or non-parish families are $200 per month/child over 10 months. Considering the cost over the course of a full year, the expense is about $9-$10 per day.

Pope John XXIII Central Catholic High School (7th-12th grade)

At Pope John, most families also address tuition and fees through payments over 10 months’ time. Junior high students (7th-8th grade) can attend for $250 per month/child and high school students (9-12 grade) can attend for $270 per month/child. We have scholarships and grants available to help offset a portion of the costs for families that financially qualify.

Lunch and Transportation

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. Otherwise, the lunch cost for preK-4th grade is $3.00/ 5-8th grade is $3.35 / 9-12th grade is $3.50. Morning milk is available for PreK-6th grade for .40 cents.

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. The yearly bus cost is $500 per family. Other parents are often happy to carpool, if you need help transporting your child.

Pope John XXIII Central Catholic High School and St. Boniface Elementary School admit students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.

Tuition Grants & Scholarships

We believe that all families who want to provide their children with a Catholic education should have the opportunity. There are several scholarships and grants available for our families to help reduce the amount of tuition. The Omaha Archdiocese offers scholarships for qualifying families with students in grades K-8 through the Children’s Scholarship Fund. We ask that families apply for the Archdiocese Scholarships before applying for school-based assistance.

If you do not receive a Scholarship Award from the Archdiocese, you may apply for school-based assistance by contacting Principal Betty Getzfred at 402.843.5325 or bgetzfred@pjcrusaders.org to apply for the PJ Greatness Grant or the St. Boniface Partners in Education (PIE) Fund.

Your application will be held in the utmost confidentiality.

This application becomes available in August and can be received by contacting Betty Getzfred at 402-843-5325 or bgetzfred@pjcrusaders.org.

Parent Involvement

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.

Our parents 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 school communities. Often times you will work along side someone you may never get the chance to meet otherwise.
