Our Tuition Assistance Committee is here to partner with you and address any concerns. All awards given to NDCL families are need-based.
Families applying for Notre Dame Tuition Assistance must first apply for the Ohio EdChoice Scholarship, which may cover part or all of Catholic school tuition. The awarded amount will be factored into overall assistance.
We are grateful for your continued support and for being part of the NDS community. Together, we provide transformational learning experiences in a safe, faith-filled environment.
Most student activities are included in tuition to encourage participation and help families budget effectively. Optional costs may include lunch, parking, bus transportation, field trips, athletic camps, yearbook, and school dances.

We are especially thankful for the participation of our families in the EdChoice Scholarship opportunity offered by the Ohio Department of Education. This state-funded program provides all K-12 students in Ohio with the opportunity to receive a scholarship that may cover a portion—or, in some cases, the full cost—of Catholic school tuition. Families applying for Notre Dame Tuition Assistance must first apply for the EdChoice Scholarship, as the awarded amount will be factored into the overall assistance evaluation.
Notre Dame Schools will continue affirming its mission to educate leaders who transform the world, as Jesus did, by living truth in love. One student at a time, your support combines with our intention of delivering transformational learning experiences with rigorous curriculum, exceptional programming, creative and collaborative learning opportunities in a safe physical and emotional environment. Thank you for your continued support and blessings.
We encourage all students to participate as much as possible in the life of our school. We believe the inclusive nature of our tuition enables students to do just that and allows families to budget more effectively for the academic year.
Items not included in tuition because they are optional and elective on the part of the student and his/her family are: Lunch and team meals, parking permit, bus transportation to and from school, optional field trips, athletic camps, Yearbook, and admission to school dances.
