Based on this schedule, the total annual cost of a DeSales education is $10,500. As noted, this total includes the cost of books and the usage of an electronic device, which is the student's to keep when he graduates. With the exception of the non-refundable  deposit, this total cost may be divided into equal payments over the whole year. This option helps relieve the burden of having to make large payments at the same time that book payments and other fees come due.

Payment Plans
Single Payment Plan – This plan requires payment made-in-full on or before July 1 of each year. Families who choose this option make their one-time payment directly to the school and receive a discount if the payment is received in the school office no later than July 1.

Monthly Payment Plan – This plan requires payment to be made in twelve installments, beginning in June and completing in May of the following year. The school utilizes an automatic withdrawal payment plan that may deduct from either a checking or savings account. The monthly payment plan requires that the family sign a Payment Debit Authorization Form. The school assesses an annual fee for this service and automatically withdraws the fee directly from the designated checking or savings account.

For the School Year 2012 – 2013
• 68% of families paid in 12 monthly installments
• 29% of families made one single payment
• 3% of families made a down payment and then paid monthly installments
• 42% received some form of financial assistance (Scholarship or Financial Aid)

Registration
The school requires a $150 non-refundable deposit (as listed above in the Tuition Breakdown) that must accompany applications for enrollment or re-enrollment. The school will not consider a student to be enrolled until all forms within the application for enrollment or re-enrollment are complete and the deposit has been received.

Student Fees
The school's tuition covers the cost of locker rental, administrative record-keeping, computer lab/laptop usage, standardized testing and student yearbooks. Fees are assessed for parking permits, admittance to social and extracurricular events, school lunches, field trips, Immersion Week activities, participation in sports and retreats, and Advance Placement (AP) classes.

Non-Parish Assessment
The school is required by the Archdiocese of Louisville to assess a non-parish fee of $50.00 for any student whose family is not a registered and contributing member of an Archdiocese of Louisville parish. Please note that we do not seek this information or make this determination but rather, it is a matter administered by the Diocese.

Privacy of Financial Information
The school business office will provide financial information only to the person or persons who sign(s) the Payment Contract. The school will never provide financial information to a student.
