Little Saints Preschool and Preschool Enrichment at St. John Tuition

Our preschool program has been purposefully designed as the first step in your child’s academic career. This means that your child becomes familiar with and accustomed to music class, gym class and technology time, as well as other specials opportunities. Through Reading Buddies with older students and involvement in various all-school activities, our preschoolers are truly a part of our St. John School family. For our students, advancing to Kindergarten is not a leap, but a natural and comfortable step.

Our preschool 3s program meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Enrichment options include afternoon enrichment on those days and Monday, Wednesday, Friday full-day add-on. Child must be 3 by September 1.

Our preschool 4s/young 5s meet for a full-day on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. There is an enrichment option of a Tuesday, Thursday full-day add-on. Child must be 4 by September 1.

Financial Assistance

Some tuition assistance for K-6 students is available through the school. The Diocese of Lansing offers financial assistance for K-12 students. There is no financial assistance for preschool, preschool enrichment or latchkey as these programs are self sustaining.

Reduce your tuition by participating in our Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) earning tuition credits.

The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is an exciting opportunity to accumulate credit toward tuition costs. Families who use TRIP can potentially reduce their tuition by hundreds of dollars each year by shopping at participating merchants. Through TRIP, gift certificates from grocery stores, restaurants, and many other businesses are purchased at a discount. The certificates are then sold to participating families at face value, with the discount passed on in the form of a tuition credit.

Tuition Rates for the following school year are set each Winter. Jackson Catholic Schools’ Board of Governors will review and set tuition for the 23-24 school year in December, 2022.  Generally, tuition rates increase between 3 – 7% each year.
