information for 2010

If you are interested in enrolling your child in Christ the King Catholic School for the 2010-2011 school year, please call the school office for more information and to have an information packet mailed to you. We would like to schedule a tour of the school with you and have you meet with our principal.

School office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. If the office is closed, please leave your information and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please feel free to roam our website to learn about more about our school. The CKCS fee schedule for the school year 2010-2011 is listed below.

NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION and OPEN HOUSE

We invite everyone interested in joining Christ the King to visit us. Please contact the CKCS office for new families tours, information about our school and new student application. A link to the application for admission to the 2010-2011 school year is on the left, along with links to other documents need to begin the registration process.

RETURNING STUDENT REGISTRATION

Registration for students returning to CKCS should be completed by now and all fees paid. If you are moving out of town or transferring to another school, please send a letter and let us know so we can give that place to another child.

Tuition Assistance

Although families pay tuition, this does not cover the entire cost of education. The remaining cost is subsidized by Christ the King Church and St. Lawrence Church. This is why it so important to contribute to your church. Families that are requesting tuition assistance must know that Christ the King Catholic School uses the FACTS program to determine if a family qualifies for tuition assistance. This is an online application that must be completed before any assistance can be given. The assistance given to families comes from the school (Sister Maureen Scholarship Fund) and will only cover tuition, not registration fees. Since we are a Catholic School, we do not receive any federal funds or grants to help with tuition. We have a limited amount of money that can be given to qualifying families. Please complete the online application or contact the school office for more information.

Please remember that the Church operates on a budget from December to December each year. This means that in order to receive the contributing rate, contributions must be made by December 31. Please see the Church office if you have any questions about receiving the contributing rate.

♦ School Board policy states: "All past due tuition and fees for the previous year must be paid before a child is registered for the next year. All payments for the current year must be completed before a child is withdrawn from the school."

Tuition Fee Schedule for 2010 - 2011 - annual tuition

Contributing Catholic (>$1,000) Contributing Catholic (<$1,000) Non-Catholics

To qualify for the contributing Catholic rate, the parents or individuals responsible for the students must be registered members of Christ the King Parish, St. Lawrence Parish or another Catholic Parish of the Archdiocese of Mobile. The contributing Catholic rate is determined by the total contributions the parish receives from the parents/ individual financially responsible for the parish fiscal year (January to December). If $1,000 or more was received by the parish in that year, the family qualifies for the first rate. If less than $1,000 was received, the family qualifies for the second rate. Each parish reports to the school which tuition rates a family will qualify for and any discussion of which rates a family qualifies for must be discussed with the parish office.

Non-Catholic families pays $3920 per student enrolled.
