Holy Rosary School

About Holy Rosary School

Tuition & Fees
The cost of education at Holy Rosary is covered by three sources:
Tuition
Cathedral of Our Lady Parish and Duluth Area Catholic Schools Investments
Fundraising

Parent partners are expected to participate in school and parish activities to the best of their ability, sharing their resources of time, talent and treasure. Tuition covers approximately 60% of the actual cost of educating each student at Holy Rosary. Base tuition rates are consistent with all of the Duluth Area Catholic Schools System campuses. Final tuition calculations are based on the number of children enrolled in Duluth Area Catholic Schools and the family\'s parish affiliation. To receive the Catholic parishioner rate, you must be a registered and actively participating member of a Duluth Area Catholic Parish.
