Tuition & Financial Aid
Saint Mary School Local Financial Aid | 2026–2027 School Year
At Saint Mary School, we believe that a Classical Catholic Liberal Arts Education is one of the greatest gifts a family can give their child — forming minds in wisdom, hearts in virtue, and souls for eternity. Our Pastor, Father Jeff Kegley, is deeply committed to making this sacred mission accessible to every family who desires it. Catholic education is not simply an option; it is an investment in truth, goodness, and beauty that shapes young men and women to know Christ and serve Him boldly in the world. For the 2026–2027 school year, we warmly invite you to complete the Saint Mary School Local Financial Aid Form. We want to partner with you and your family, walking alongside you to ensure that financial circumstances never stand in the way of your child receiving an education rooted in faith and guided by the rich intellectual tradition of the Church. For more information, please call (732) 671-0129, option 6. Together, let us build a future grounded in what has always been true and lasting.
