We’re glad you are interested in applying to Saint Francis International School for the 2021-202 school year.
We have worked hard to try to make the application process easy for you. Most of the process will take place online in order to make things as streamlined and convenient as possible. Our application and enrollment process, along with the financial aid and billing services, are handled for us by an outside provider called Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS for short).
Here are the steps you need to take in the application process:
What will happen next in the application process?
How will I know if my child was accepted?
How much will my child’s education at SFIS cost?
Our tuition rates for school are $11,660 for 3 and 4 year olds, and $8,220 for students in grade K to 8. Also, every child is charged a $275 fee to help cover the costs of textbooks, workbooks, art materials, PE equipment, computers, and other instructional technology.
But the amount you pay for your child’s education may be reduced if you receive:
- Financial aid from the Archdiocese of Washington
- Financial aid from SFIS
- A grant for being an active parishioner in a Catholic parish
- Financial assistance provided by the State of Maryland or a private foundation including Pre-K Expansion Grants that cover full tuition!
- To be sure you qualify for the maximum fincial aid, please be sure to complete the Financial Aid Application online at myTADS once you have created a user account (one per family) and apply for a state BOOST Scholarship if you are a Maryland resident.
The amount you pay for your child’s education may also be increased if you chose to enroll your child in before school or after school sessions of our Extended School Program. Program options include:Before school only
- Early bird afternoons (until 4:30 pm)
- Full afternoons
- Before school and early bird afternoons
- Before school and full afternoons
- Just after school on early dismissal days
- Drop in participation
