The total cost to educate each student for the 2022-2023 school year is $11,500. 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.
