At St. Mary’s School, we believe that every child should have access to a Christ-centered education. We strive to provide superior academic and spiritual formation for our students, while also working to keep tuition costs as low as possible. We are able to carry out our mission through the generosity of our wonderful parish and private donors.

*This rate is for families/students who are members of St. Mary’s Metamora or St. Mary’s Lourdes parish. Parishioner rate is lower to reflect the weekly financial gift that parishioners make to the Church, which in turn supports the cost of operating the school.
The multi-child discount pertains to siblings in K-8 only.
The estimated annual cost of educating a child at St. Mary’s is over $8000+ per child. This tuition is one to the lowest tuition cost out of the thirteen Catholic schools in the Peoria region. No child will be turned away due to ability to pay. If finances are a concern, we would like to meet with you to confidentially discuss. Please talk to the parish priest or the school principal.
