Registration Fee
A registration fee of $250 per student is due upon completion of the tuition contract, and is non-refundable. A signed contract and paid registration fee is required to reserve a spot on the class roster.
Capital Assessment Fee
A Capital Assessment fee of $750 per family is payable to the school based on the payment plan selected by the family (either lump sum due in July or monthly beginning in June). The Capital Assessment fee provides funding for payments of debt service and capital projects managed through the MCPS building fund.

MCPS offers either a “Lump Sum” or a “Monthly payment plan”. The Lump Sum amount is payable on July 15th. The monthly payment plan provides for twelve (12) monthly payments from June 15 to May 15.

Finalsite collects tuition payments with ease, uses automated reminders, and creates customized payment schedules for families. Online tuition contracts are generated within the system, and families will be notified to login and digitally sign the contract. The billing dashboard within the Finalsite will offer a transparent breakdown of tuition, fees and billable items.

We offer a myriad of ways for families to afford MCPS, and encourage you to explore each of them to determine what works best for your family. Financial aid is based strictly upon demonstrated financial need and is available for families with students in Kindergarten (K5) – 12th grade only. Families may apply for financial aid once their child has applied and been accepted to Montgomery Catholic for the 2024-25 year. Please note that your taxes must be completed prior to applying for financial aid.
