The James L. Collins Catholic School Annual Campaign makes it possible for us to continue our mission of developing the hearts and minds of our students. Its purpose is to meet expansion needs and to provide enhancements to our school's educational programs which are not covered by tuition. Tuition and fees provide approximately 51% of the school’s operating expenses. An average family at JLCCS pays $5,047 a year for one child to attend, but the actual cost to the school to educate each child for the year is $9,919. That is a GAP of $4,872 per child.
