Tuition
In 1993, the annual tuition was $3,000 ($4767.8 when adjusted for inflation) for half day preschool, $4,800 ($7628.47 when adjusted for inflation) for students in grades Kindergarten through fourth, and $5,000 ($7946.33 when adjusted for inflation) for fifth graders. Because, unlike parochial schools, Regis is not directly associated with the archdiocese, the archdiocese does not give a subsidy to the school. Anne Storey Carty, the headmistress, said during that year that, as paraphrased by Richard Vara of the Houston Chronicle, "the education is not cheap". The school, as of 1993, offers tuition assistance for families who qualify. Carty said, "We are not out to make this a school for the upper classes." The current tuition for the 2011-12 school year ranges through $19,000.

Famous quotes containing the word tuition:
“You send your child to the schoolmaster, but ‘tis the schoolboys who educate him. You send him to the Latin class, but much of his tuition comes, on his way to school, from the shop- windows.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Miss C_____ is ... remarkably neat in her person and is uncommonly diligent in every part of useful economy.... She hath indeed under her father’s tuition acquired ... a large share of real learning of almost all the living and dead languages. Nor was the leisure which she found for such acquirements produced by neglecting anything necessary or useful for the family, but by the most assiduous industry.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
