What Tuition Covers
Tuition supports only a portion of the true cost of educating a TMLA student.
As a private school, TMLA does not receive per-pupil government funding as public and charter schools do. We are a tuition- and donation-dependent institution committed to strong operations and exceptional outcomes.
Despite our accessible tuition, TMLA continues to rank as:
- The highest-ranked all-girls Catholic high school in NYC’s outer boroughs
- Among the Top 20 Catholic high schools in New York State (Niche.com)
- A school with exceptional college placement and personalized college advisement
A TMLA education — and the 20,000+ alumnae network that comes with it — is a lifelong investment.
Your Investment Directly Supports:
Small class sizes and individualized attention
Athletics, arts, robotics, and 40+ clubs
College counseling, 19 AP & College Credit Courses, and the Aspire Program
Expert Faculty & Staff
Maintenance and enhancement of our historic campus
Tuition Adjustments
TMLA is committed to maintaining affordability while sustaining the excellence of our academic program.
While we do not anticipate significant year-over-year tuition increases, families should expect modest annual cost-of-living adjustments. The Board of Directors reserves the right to adjust tuition as needed to ensure strong school operations and long-term sustainability.
