This year’s #iGiveCatholic that will take place on Giving Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023 will benefit the School Excellence Fund. Advanced Giving is from Nov. 13 - 27. Each year St. Jane de Chantal School provides children with an exceptional education. When calculating the tuition rate we purposefully keep the tuition level moderate in an effort to make Catholic education affordable for families from all income levels. As a result, there is a gap between the actual cost to educate and the tuition paid. With a gift to the De Chantal School Excellence Fund you can help narrow this gap and insure all children at St. Jane de Chantal School continue to get a high quality education. Click to learn more!
