Frequently Asked Questions

What if I am not Catholic?

One third of our students at St. Boniface are not Catholic. St. Boniface is open to discussing its religious curriculum with parents so they understand what their children will be taught. The Catholic faith is our foundation, and we will not teach anything contrary to the Faith. We also believe parents are the primary teachers of their children and we are here to help you. We do what we do because we are Catholic, not because you are.

How can I afford tuition?

Enrolling your child as a student in St. Boniface is an investment in their future. We have financial aid, scholarship and loan programs available to fit every income.

Can our child ride the bus to school?

Yes! Busing is provided by the BCS, Genoa, and Woodmore school systems.

As a working parent, what kind of extended care do you have available?

St. Boniface offers adult-supervised before and after care programs. Our before care program starts at 6:45am and runs to the beginning of the school day. On days that school is delayed it is also available at an hourly rate. St. Boniface's after care program begins promptly at the end of the school day and runs until 5pm. Both programs are offered for an hourly fee.

Will my child be able to participate in sports and extracurricular activities?

Students in grades 7 and 8 may become members and participate in any team sport offered through BCS schools. Every effort is made to send home announcements regarding community extracurricular activities in the weekly school communication envelope.

How well do the children integrate into other school systems after their years at St. Boniface?

At St. Boniface we teach children to appreciate their peers for the qualities they possess not what grade they are in. When you talk to our students you will note that they like our school because they can be friends with all of the students, not just the ones in their classroom. As they transition into the public schools, former St. Boniface students remember them and welcome them. In addition, many students take advantage of activities outside of school (such as sports, scouts, 4-H, band, etc.) in which they become friends with children who are not St. Boniface students.

What kind of parent volunteer hours are required if my child goes here?

We have mandatory service hours during the year to supplement and aid in fundraising efforts. At first the thought may be overwhelming, however, as all families are required to participate this is a good way to meet other school families. Service hours can be completed by anyone (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.).
