Tuition Information
2017 - 2018
Tuition for the 2017-2018 school year is $8,968 for high school and $6,669 for middle school. To simplify the tuition and fees process, Holy Cross has implemented a single tuition amount. All fees, text books, and athletic costs are included in this single tuition amount. Although Holy Cross continues to be the most affordable catholic college preparatory high school in San Antonio the tuition charged does not fully cover the cost per student incurred by the school. The school makes up the substantial difference by annual fundraising activities among parents, alumni, alumni parents, and friends of the school.
