Admission

A Catholic education within reach

Through Indiana School Choice vouchers and SGO tax-credit scholarships, many St. Mary families pay little or no out-of-pocket tuition.

Affordability

Two ways to make it affordable

St. Mary participates in Indiana's two leading school-choice programs. Most families qualify for one or both — and our office is glad to walk you through eligibility and the application.
