Pre-Paid Tuition Policy

Charleston Catholic High School requires that total tuition charges for the school year must be paid on or before June 15. Late charges of $1.00 per day after June 15 will be added to the total tuition bill or subtracted from any credit on record in the school for the upcoming school year. For new students registering between June 15 and August 15, the total tuition is due within two weeks of acceptance into the school.

Tuition Loan Program

For our families’ convenience, CCHS offers the “Tuition Loan Program” through Peoples Bank. These loans, while arranged through the school, are direct loans made by the bank to school families. The interest rate is 5.5% and the bank will grant loans for all or part of the tuition and fees. The loan is repaid directly to Peoples Bank in ten monthly installments.

Parents wishing to arrange loans must contact Jeff Munson at Peoples Bank, by phone at (304)340-3000, or in-person at Peoples Bank, 201 Pennsylvania Ave. N, Charleston, WV, by May 19, 2025, to pick up the application and arrange for submission and signing of the loan documents. A copy of your tuition invoice will be required with application. No loan amount should exceed the total invoiced amount.

Tuition Assistance

The Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston offers need-based tuition assistance to families with children enrolled in Catholic schools. The first round of awards will be directed to Catholic families. Applications for this aid must be submitted online at https://online.factsmgt.com/aid by April 30. The second and third rounds of awards will be open to all families. Applications must be submitted online by July 14 for Round 2 and by August 23 for Round 3.

Catholic families needing financial aid are encouraged to meet with their pastors to request tuition assistance from their parishes.

Other opportunities for assistance are available through the school. Any other families who need assistance or have questions about paying tuition should contact Sherry Shindle at 304-342-8415.

Hope Scholarship Recipients

Incoming families who have been awarded the Hope Scholarship by the West Virginia Treasurer’s Office must submit a copy of their authorization letter to Mrs. Shindle with their tuition payment. This information will allow the account to reflect the proper balance due.

Tuition Refund Policy

Tuition is charged until the day a signed withdrawal form is completed by the parents and submitted to the office. Fees will not be refunded.
