Catholic high schools in Baltimore area remain more affordable private school option

Continuing a trend of the last several years, Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore continue to be significantly more affordable than their non-Catholic private school counterparts, according to an annual tuition survey conducted by the Catholic Review.

Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore that charge traditional tuition reported an average tuition of $19,055 for the current academic year. That represents an 8.5 percent increase from the previous academic year.

Non-Catholic private high schools reported an average tuition of $32,453, representing an 8.9 percent increase from the previous academic year. 

Across the board, tuition rose at a steeper rate than previous years, driven in part by inflation. 

On average, non-Catholic private high schools charge approximately 70 percent more than their Catholic high school counterparts. 

The accompanying chart was compiled from high school websites and administrators. For comparative purposes, it includes fellow members of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association and the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland. When available and consistent across all grades, fees were added to tuition to come up with the cost of attendance for the 2023-24 school year.
