St. Francis de Sales School

The school at a glance

St. Francis de Sales in Newark combines a Catholic classical approach with several distinct financial-assistance routes. Its published K–8 price separates tuition from a student-services charge, and the new-student enrollment payment goes toward that charge rather than creating a second identical fee. Payment-plan fees still need to be added. The school asks families to apply for state support before parish assistance and describes additional diocesan, scholarship, and endowment opportunities. Parish-specific help has participation requirements, so it should not be assumed available to every applicant. Families should compare the complete offer, including any extended-day needs, and check late funding availability because priority dates for the priced year have passed. St. Francis is a practical candidate when both its faith commitments and the actual post-aid budget fit the household over the full elementary-to-middle-school period.
