How tuition is put together
Every family pays three separate charges through FACTS, the school’s tuition management system: a one‑time registration fee, monthly tuition, and an annual general/booster fee. Families may enjoy a discounted registration fee by registering before March 31.
PK2
One rate schedule, split by full‑day or half‑day session. Child must be 2 or older by September 1, 2026.
PK2 — single rate, no Active Catholic tier
PK3 & PK4
Registration is paid directly to the school to hold the seat; tuition and remaining fees run through FACTS. PK3 student must be 3 or older on September 1, 2026. PK4 student must be 4 or older on September 1, 2026.
PK3 & PK4 — single rate, no Active Catholic tier

|---|---|---|
| 1 child | $300 | $350 |
| 2 children | $600 | $650 |
| 3 children | $800 | $850 |
Kindergarten – 6th Grade
This is the only level with two rate tiers. Child must be 5 or older by September 1, 2026.
One student — Active Catholic vs. Standard

To qualify for the Active Catholic Rate:
- Parents and student attend Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation.
- The family uses church envelopes weekly, which is how attendance is confirmed (no minimum payment is required).
- A parent volunteers at church bingo four times during the school year.

A $15 fee applies to any payment more than two weeks past due, across all programs.

Two scholarship options may be available to OLF families: a parish-administered merit scholarship, and a statewide program open to nearly all Mississippi K–12 students.
ACE Scholarships — Mississippi

ACE Scholarships has also established partnerships with 50 partner schools throughout the state. During the 2025/26 school year, 289 scholarships were delivered, and demand continues to grow. Our vision is that every child has access to a quality education, so our work here is not done.
