Letter from Administration

IMPORTANT ENROLLMENT INFORMATION FOR 2024-2025

It is time to start thinking about enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year. This process will be a little different this year so please read carefully.

Many of you are familiar with the FACTS Management System for tuition payments and tuition assistance applications. This year Saint Gabriel School and Preschool will be transitioning to utilizing FACTS for enrollment as well. The plan is that FACTS will replace the paper applications/ online registration system/ mailed tuition agreements that we used in the past, and families will use your same FACTS login. The hope is to streamline the registration experience for families.

Current Students

We will assume all current students (grades K-7) will return for next school year unless we receive written notification that your child is not returning. Please email school@stgabriel.net by November 30 if your child will not return.

New Students

We are in the final stages of setting up our application portal with FACTS so an exact date for new applications has not been finalized. More information will be shared as it is available.

Tuition Assistance (K-8):

Financial Aid applications for students in grades K-8 for the 2024-2025 school year are now available. We are committed to assisting families who need financial aid to make a Catholic education a reality. Last year, over $444,000 in total financial aid was provided to school families from St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish, the Archdiocese of Louisville, the Catholic Education Foundation, and their partners. There is one financial aid application to apply for all aid sources. Apply through FACTS Management System by November 30, 2023. For more information, please visit www.ceflou.org or visit our webpage for the link to information about Financial Aid. Families who apply by the Nov. 30th deadline will receive their award notifications by March 1.

We strive to provide the best customer service possible to our families. Thank you for choosing to partner with Saint Gabriel School for your child(ren)’s education.
