How the school hopes to make tuition accessible
Scholarships
We hope eligible families can benefit from South Dakota and federal scholarship opportunities if available.
Sacred Heart aid
School-based financial assistance and donor-supported scholarships will be important to the model.
Sibling discounts
The school intends to offer significant multi-child discounts so larger Catholic families are not disproportionately burdened.
Community support
Fundraising and philanthropy will help bridge the gap between cost and affordability.
Admissions philosophy: Sacred Heart seeks to welcome families who desire an authentically Catholic high school education. Financial need should not automatically place that education out of reach.
Early enrollment path
The current launch model envisions starting with a smaller founding enrollment and adding one grade per year. Families who are interested should join the mailing list now so we can continue sharing updates and planning information.
