I would like to correct this statement.

Catholic schools have 5 elementary schools (K-8, 1 is only middle school) that are 95% free for a majority of the children that attend. They go on to the Catholic high schools, I imagine, on FA.

Some go on vouchers but to their family they are free. The FA office does not believe in 100% free, they believe everybody needs to have some skin in the game so whether they pay $500 or $1000 or $2000 (the majority pay &lt;$2000) they all pay something.

Some get free breakfast lunch and dinner and they get free tutoring and sports. Some get mentors that follow them through the Sophmore year of college.

Don Bosco, which is a HS, partner with businesses, kids received paid internships so they can pay their tuition.

These schools are esentially free to financially needy children. [/quote]
