Catholic Education Is Possible—Let Us Help Make It Affordable

At St. Patrick School, we believe every family who desires a Catholic education should have the opportunity to pursue it. That’s why we partner with the Diocese of Peoria and offer parish-supported assistance to help families manage tuition costs. Financial support is available for students in grades K–8, and applying is simple, confidential, and rooted in our shared commitment to Catholic values.
