As a private, Catholic, secondary school, Holy Cross High School receives no financial assistance from the Diocese of Brooklyn or from any parish. The substantial difference in the actual cost to educate each student and the tuition charged is made up through the generosity of our alumni, parents, and benefactors.
While the actual annual cost of educating a student at Holy Cross is over $14,000, the tuition for the 2023-2024 school year is only $10,750.

Tuition Refund Policy
The First Tuition Payment is refundable according to the following schedule:
Withdrawal within 30 days of the Registration Date – 1⁄2 would be refundable.
Withdrawal within 60 days of the Registration Date – 1⁄4 would be refundable
Withdrawal after 60 days of the Registration Date – no refund
Withdrawals after the first day of school: Tuition refunds are prorated on a ten-month basis. Attendance on the first day of any month counts as a full month.
Insurance
Each student is insured while at Holy Cross High School for all school activities. Parental Medical Insurance is primary, after which the School’s Accident Plan will begin payments.
Outstanding Balances
If tuition payments fall behind, the school reserves the right to suspend a student (from class/exams), deny transcripts, report cards, recommendations, or participation in sports or extracurricular activities. A late charge of $15.00 will be assessed on the first of each month beyond the tuition due date for each month the tuition is not paid.
Books and Supplies
In order to best prepare for the upcoming academic school year, students purchase all required notebooks, workbooks, supplies, and additional uniform necessities prior to the first day of school during their class orientations. Since the cost of textbooks is included in tuition, this provides families the opportunity to be able to budget student expenses earlier, helping eliminate additional fees and purchases throughout the school year.
Students may also purchase notebooks and supplies elsewhere if so desired. The Holy Cross Bookstore is open throughout the school year, both before and after school if students select to make additional purchases at a later time.
