"An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."
Benjamin Franklin

Holy Cross Academy has a comprehensive, all-inclusive tuition wrapping registration fees, PTA fees, class dues, and most required school supplies into one amount. No additional fees will be added during the year.

Give Where You Live
As is the case with all schools operating within the Diocese of Trenton, tuition covers only a portion of a school's operating budget. After an annual parish subsidy, we are responsible for making up the difference through school and PTA fundraising efforts and other charitable donations. The actual cost to provide your child with an excellent Catholic education at Holy Cross Academy is approximately $14,000. Like many Catholic and private schools, Holy Cross Academy relies not only on tuition, but also on our community’s support. In order to maintain a reasonable tuition rate, Holy Cross Academy has shown that it can depend on the generosity of parents, grandparents, alumni and the community connected to Holy Cross Academy, through their participation in fundraising. We hope you will please keep our school in mind during your financial planning.

Holy Cross Academy is committed to fostering academic excellence and making quality education accessible to all. Tuition Assistance and Financial Aid may be available and our office is happy to help you with any concerns.

Please know that your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. We ask that you contact Mrs. Pauline Nowak at 732.708.3113 x.202 with any questions or concerns you may have regarding financial aid or any administrative processing fees should they pose a hardship.
