The total cost to educate each student for the 2026-2027 school year is $13,300. Allentown Central Catholic High School discounts this cost to keep the total tuition and fees as affordable as possible for our families. In addition, ACCHS offers financial aid to those families that qualify based on financial need to help offset the total costs of an ACCHS education. Financial aid applications MUST be submitted each year through the Simple Tuition Solutions website. There is no guarantee that financial aid awards will remain the same from year to year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FINANCIAL AID
The Diocese of Allentown recently formalized a partnership with Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools, BLOCS, to help administer the scholarship program for our Diocesan Schools. Through this new partnership, ACCHS is able to access additional Pennsylvania tax credit funding to assist more of our families.Because of this, ALL families with students enrolled at Allentown Central Catholic are required to complete the scholarship application regardless of their need for additional financial assistance. ACCHS does offer financial aid to those families that qualify based on the financial aid application. Applications for the 2026-2027 school year must be completed online through Simple Tuition Solutions (STS). Financial aid applications must be submitted each year through the STS website. Maximum consideration for financial aid will be extended to all families that have verified their completed applications by June 1, 2026. Please note: the financial aid application will require your 2024 or 2025 tax return for verification.
