Tuition & Affordability

Tuition Rates

Archbishop Ryan Catholic High School works diligently to find new ways to reduce administrative costs, increase gifts from our alumni and supporters, and keep tuition increases to a minimum. Most importantly, we want to ensure financial literacy among our families so you know exactly how much you're paying for your child's quality education.

 

The cost to Ryan of educating a child is not fully covered by his or her tuition. Fortunately, we have a generous group of supporters that makes up that difference through fundraising and development. Because of the support we receive from our alumni and friends, Archbishop Ryan does not require students or families to participate in any mandatory fundraising activities. For more information on how you can help finance our future, please contact Ed Hughes, Director of Major Gifts/EITC.

The School Fee Explained

Archbishop Ryan's tuition is broken down into two parts: Tuition and the School Fee. Tuition is used to pay things like teachers' salaries and building utilities. In addition to the tuition, each school charges a school fee. This is used to maintain the school's internal programs. Your school fee covers different items at each school. In an effort to be transparent about the cost of a Catholic education at AR, we've bundled our fees that are traditionally charged individually throughout the school year into our "school fee." This provides parents with financial literacy and allows them the opportunity to budget appropriately without surprise fees or costs.

Merit Based Awards & Grants

Scholarships, Legacy Grants, and Presidential merit not only help you cover the costs of a Catholic education - they also acknowledge and reward your accomplishments both in and out of the classroom. Many factors can influence who receives scholarships. Keep in mind that some scholarships require a separate application. All applicants must complete the FACTS application in order to be considered for a merit-based scholarship regardless of need. For more details and a complete list of scholarships, click here.
 
Merit Based Scholarships
 
Archbishop Ryan is committed to making Catholic education financially possible for qualified students to pursue their studies. Each year, we award hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships as an investment in our students. These academic scholarships are awarded as a result of the Presidential Scholarship & Entrance Test which takes place in September or October of your 8th grade year. Each year, the profile of the scholarship recipients varies based on the successes of the applicant pool and scholarship amounts are tiered based on performance in the test, classroom grades, and school involvement. Unless otherwise noted, scholarships are awarded for four years. A FACTS application is required before any awards (merit or need based) will be granted. Apply now at www.arhs.me/FACTS.
