Course Fees- Some courses require supplementary fees for supplies. Those are billed after the first semester begins to allow room for any early schedule changes. Please see the Curriculum Guide for details.
Textbooks- St. Benedict textbooks can be purchased through our virtual bookstore, MBS Direct. They sell both new and used books.
Payment Schedules
The registration fee ($250 per student) is due with your registration card to reserve an enrollment spot.
Tuition, the technology and activity fee ($350.00 per student), drug testing fee ($60.00 per student) and graduation fee ($85.00 per student) can be paid in one of the three following manners:
(1) ANNUALLY- All monies are due by July 1. Please notify the Business Office by May 1 if you are planning to choosing this option.
(2) QUARTERLY- Quarterly due dates are May 1, August 1, November 1 and February 1.
(3) MONTHLY- Families that wish to pay monthly are required to enroll annually with the FACTS payment plan which will require a once-a-year $38 participation fee. Such a plan can be customized to meet your family budget. You are eligible to begin monthly drafts in April, but you must design the plan so that all payments are completed by March of the following year. This option allows for a family to make occasional additional payments directly to SBA which will reduce the amount of the monthly payment. To enroll in the FACTS payment plan, click here. (The SBA School Code is 348)
