The Annual Campaign

The Annual Campaign exists to help bridge the gap between what we charge in tuition and the actual costs of operating the school. Hundreds of alumni, current and alumni parents, and other friends of the school have assisted us in the past. Your gift is critical to the continued success of Mount Michael Benedictine School.

The Facts

  • We currently charge $13,000 for tuition, room and board.
  • The actual cost per student is $17,000.
  • The gap between what it costs per student and what we charge per student is $4,000
  • 70% of our students receive some sort of financial assistance in the form of scholarships, grants and work study.
  • The financial gap must be closed by fundraisers like Night of Knights and the generousity of donors to the Annual Campaign.
