Tuition & Scholarships | St. Louis All Boys School

We believe cost should not prevent deserving young men from receiving an exceptional education at De Smet Jesuit High School.

At De Smet Jesuit, we recognize the significant financial commitment made by our families. We also understand that each family has unique circumstances and abilities to pay tuition. To care for each student, we offer our Family Tuition Assistance program, academic scholarships, and named scholarships from our generous benefactors. We are here to help.

Tuition	$20,895
Tablet & Fees	$690

We acknowledge the sacrifices families make when they invest in private school.

We take our stewardship seriously and encourage families to apply for tuition assistance and our scholarships. Please note: Tuition may be subject to change and does not include cost of books, lunch, or PE uniforms. Tuition for future academic years is released each spring.

Where Tuition Assistance Comes From

Through the support of the Spartan Fund, De Smet Jesuit strives to make Jesuit education affordable to any young man regardless of his family's socio-economic background. Multiple events raise money throughout the year including our annual auction, the Tradition golf tournament, and the parent annual giving campaign.
