How much is tuition?
Tuition per student at St Benedict Catholic School for the 2025-2026 school year is $7,600.

2025-2026 K-8 Ed Choice Scholarship
The Ed Choice Expansion program has expanded its eligibility to include every student in the State of Ohio! The expanded eligibility guidelines provide all families in Ohio with an income up to 450% of the federal poverty level to qualify for a full Ed Choice Scholarship to be applied toward your St. Benedict Catholic School tuition. In addition, families that earn over 450% of the federal poverty level will qualify for a reduced scholarship amount. As income increases, the scholarship amount decreases. In other words, there is no longer a cut-off of household income for the Ed Choice Expansion scholarship and the scholarship is not dependent on your local public school district of residence. The value of a full EdChoice Scholarship for K-8 is $6,165/student.

Families who do not qualify for the full EdChoice Scholarship may need to pay the difference between the Tuition amount and what they are awarded through EdChoice.
