Our Lady of Walsingham Academy is committed to offering an outstanding high school education at an affordable cost to families. Tuition for the 2024-25 academic year is $8,000 per student. Families with siblings at Our Lady of Walsingham Academy may receive a tuition discount. Payment plans are available.
Because tuition does not cover the full cost of an education at Our Lady of Walsingham Academy, families are expected to aid in our major fundraising efforts during the school year, including Online Giving Days and Our Lady’s Dowry Gala.
