How do Orange County families pay for Catholic school?
Typically in this sequence: the state scholarship, then parishioner or sibling pricing, then need-based aid from the school's financial aid process. 10 of the 12 Catholic schools in the listing carry the FTC/FES-EO flag, and each school page shows it.
Every school's business office handles its own aid, so the diocese has no single price list to quote.
How is the Diocese of Orlando organized?
The diocese describes 39 schools in eight of its nine counties: five high schools, 29 elementary schools, one special education school and four early-childhood centers. Some of those schools are outside Orange County, and the state listing used here covers only the Orange County district.
What does a Catholic high school charge in Orlando?
Bishop Moore Catholic High School's tuition page still carries 2024-25 rates of $15,528 for Catholic families and $21,420 for non-Catholic families, plus a $575 registration fee and separate charges for uniforms, an iPad and athletics. Check 2026-27 pricing with the school.
According to the page, scholarships cover tuition alone, and the family pays the remainder. Set against the $7,639 award for grades 9-12, the Catholic rate would leave $7,889 before aid, which is why high school families rely on school aid.
Is there help beyond the school's own aid?
The Catholic Foundation of Central Florida reports distributing more than $2.4 million for Catholic schools since 2014 and accepts donations for tuition assistance. The page we reviewed lists no application or amount, so ask your school which funds it can reach.
