About the Fund

Our Mission

  • To provide needs-based tuition assistance to low-income families who want their children to attend an elementary school or early childhood center in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.
  • To support operations at Our Lady of the Angels, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Holy Cross schools.
  • To fund programs that will improve the quality of student life and education in schools that are struggling financially.

Tuition Information

Each family makes a financial contribution - as much as they can afford - toward their children's tuition. With annual tuition averaging $3,000, very few have the means to send their children to our schools without financial assistance.

Studies show that the cost to attend a Strong City School is half the cost of public education. A breakdown of our tuition is as follows:

  • $1,500 for one semester
  • $750 for one quarter
  • $95 for one week
  • $19 for one day
Since 1989, concerned members of the community have contributed more than $23 million to open doors to neighborhood Catholic schools for children in Kansas City's poorest neighborhoods. The Strong City School Fund is proud to continue this tradition of excellence.

You can change the life of a child with the lasting gift of education. Your gift to the Strong City School Fund helps students reach their potential and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. Contact us for more information!
