Tuition & Financial Aid - Immaculata Catholic School

We arrived in Durham two years ago with plans to relocate after a year. But after our son's first year at Immaculata was done, we just couldn't do it—we were so impressed with the care he had been given. The patience and commitment that his teacher had shown both him and us left us amazed and thankful. I knew this was not a good school but a GREAT school! And with that, I knew I could not relocate—we would not be able to find something as special as ICS. Parent

Included Expenses

Tuition covers most expenses involved with attending Immaculata, including those related to homeroom activities, books and other curriculum materials, yearbook, and Home & School Association dues. Middle School tuition also includes annual retreat expenses and a technology fee for use and insurance of 1:1 devices.

Expenses not covered in tuition: Tuition does not cover the cost of uniforms. Additional fees apply to voluntary participation in activities such as clubs and sports, field trips, the lunch program, and After School Care.

Payment Options

Tuition may be paid in one of the following ways:

Full Tuition Payment (online): The entire tuition payment is deducted in June for the upcoming school year. This option entitles families to a 1.5% (per child) discount.
Full Tuition Payment (check): Payment made directly to the school in June. This option entitles families to a 1.5% (per child) discount. For security reasons, we cannot accept cash payments.
Semi-Annual Payment Plan: Half payments will be deducted from your account in June and November. This option entitles families to a $25 (per child) discount.
Monthly Payment Plan: Tuition payments will be deducted over twelve months beginning in June. Payments can be made on either the 5th or the 20th of each month.

Tuition Assistance

School assistance is available to help make tuition payments more affordable for families. Need-based, partial tuition assistance is available for students in Kindergarten–Grade 8. Families applying for tuition assistance will need to complete an application and submit the necessary supporting documentation annually.

We are not able to offer financial assistance for our Pre-K or After School programs as both may be eligible for dependent care reimbursement through your employer, providing tax savings.

Financial aid applications are reviewed once all supporting documentation has been submitted.

State-funded assistance may also be available through the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority.
