Enrollment and Tuition

 Acceptance

Harrisburg Catholic Elementary School does not discriminate with respect to race, sex or ethnic origin. Indeed, we celebrate the diversity that enriches our population. Priority will be offered, however, to children who are members of one of the parishes participating in the school, prior to the admission of other students.  Generally, class size is capped at 25 students for all grades.  Some exceptions may be made at any grade level. 

After pre-admission testing and an interview with the Principal, providing there is room in our classes and the child has no academic or emotional concern that would hinder his/her education at this school, the child may be admitted on a provisionary basis of 90 days at which time a review will be conducted. Students permitted to continue at Harrisburg Catholic are accepted on a probationary basis to Harrisburg Catholic Elementary School for the full school year. 

In acceptance, there is nothing therein that is intended to, or shall be construed to, create any contractual obligations, expressed or implied, on the part of the Diocese, or school.

Failure to report accurately any learning disabilities or other problems a child may have will result in being required to remove the child from Harrisburg Catholic Elementary. 

This school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. 

The school does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation. 

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them.  Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

There are special requirements for students entering Kindergarten and 1st Grade.  In addition to the general admission requirements, a student wishing to enter Kindergarten must be 5 years of age on or before September 1st; and a 1st Grade student must be 6 years old by September 1st. 

The tuition rate for the 2026 - 2027 School Year is $6,900.  Scholarships are available.                                        

All tuition is non-refundable.
