Tuition
The cost of education at Holy Rosary is covered by three sources: tuition, Duluth Area Catholic Schools investment, and fundraising. In order to fulfill our mission, parents are asked to participate in all activities to the best of their ability. In general, tuition covers 63% of the actual cost of educating a student at Holy Rosary. Tuition is based on the number of children and the family's parish affiliation. To receive the parish rate, you must be a registered and participating member of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary.
