Holy Family Academy
2025-26 Tuition Rates
Our goal is to keep tuition costs affordable for all families while also being transparent about the true "Cost To Educate" (CTE) at your school. To achieve this goal, the Diocese of Scranton Catholic Schools Office is shifting to a new tuition structure model that shares the CTE at your school and offers options to families to reduce this cost to educate. to help keep tuition payments at a manageable level. The Diocese of Scranton is offering a guaranteed scholarship to families when the family either participates in the Pa State Tuition Tax Credit Program (also referred to as the EITC Scholarship program as presented by RedefinED in the fall) and/or applies for tuition assistance, which can be done during the online enrollment process.
The cost to educate a student at Holy Family Academy is $11,870.00. To reduce the CTE, follow these steps:
​
1. Apply for Tuition Assistance. The Diocese of Scranton Catholic Schools Office works with a third party vendor, FACTS Grant and Aid, to evaluate all applications. Using objective criteria, the applications are ranked according to need within each school. You only need to complete one online application even if you have students attending multiple Diocesan schools.
and/or
2. Donate to the PA State Tuition Tax Credit Program. Apply to donate your PA state tax through an EITC program and receive a tax credit of 90% of the amount you donate.
By doing one or both of these steps, you will automatically receive a Diocese of Scranton Guaranteed Scholarship Award and be charged the amounts listed in the charts below. This guaranteed scholarship will be immediately applied to your tuition before any other discounts or assistance awards. Below will be your tuition amount for 2025-2026 if you apply for Tuition Assistance and/or donate to the PA State Tuition Tax Credit Program. If you do not apply for tuition assistance or participate in the PA State Tuition Tax Credit Program, you will be charged the cost to educate: $11,870.00.
