Manhattan Catholic Schools
2005-06 Income Budget Summary
The graph below provides a summary of the revenue sources that support Manhattan Catholic Schools' annual operational needs for the 2005-06 budget year.
Tuition rates are evaluated annually. Tuition has increased 3+% every year since 1990 to help cover ever-increasing costs. As of 2005, tuition covers approximately 52% of the cost of operating the school.
However, one of the primary goals of Manhattan Catholic Schools (MCS) is to make a Catholic education an option for all children. Raising tuition to a level that would cover all operating costs would make a Catholic education cost-prohibitive and would limit accessibility to a very few.
Affordable tuition also helps MCS move forward on its goal of enhancing the diversity of its student population. Although tuition is not the only element in this pursuit, making tuition more affordable makes a Catholic education a viable choice for everyone.
TOTAL 2005-06 BUDGET -- $1,010,075
