All students entering SJNCS for the first time and new to our diocesan school system are accepted on a probationary basis. The probationary period is for 60 school days and is intended to benefit both the student, family, and the school. During the probationary period, if necessary, parents may be asked to attend a parent conference to discuss their student’s progress and placement. St. John Neumann Catholic School strives to provide a Christ-centered learning environment that promotes academic success and personal responsibility.

During the 60-day probationary period, if the school determines the student is unable to perform adequately in this environment, any prepaid tuition will be prorated and refunded. Grades will not be released until all accounts are current. Student fees are non-refundable.

 

Saint John Neumann Catholic School recruits and admits students of any race, color, and national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. SJNCS welcomes applications from families of all backgrounds.

Financial Aid Links

SJNCS is committed to helping make tuition affordable to all families seeking a Catholic education. Our Diocese is richly blessed to have supportive parishes who contribute monetary support to the Knoxville Regional Catholic Schools Operating Fund (KRCSOF). Along with providing the standard subsidy for every Catholic child in Catholic school, this fund provides additional financial assistance to our families who desire a Catholic school education , but might not otherwise be able to afford one.

In order to qualify for assistance, you must complete an online application through FACTS Management. The tuition support applications for the 2025-2026 school year will open in late fall.   Please check back in late October for the application. The links below provide the instructions for completing the 2024-2025 applications.
