Can I afford to send my child to Manistee Catholic Central?
Sending your child to a private school can involve financial sacrifice. However, over 45% of MCC students receive some form of financial assistance. Discounts are also provided for families with more than one student. Several additional programs such as SCRIP are available to help families individually offset tuition expenses.
How do we apply for Financial Assistance?
Parents can complete a CTS Application (Covenant Tuition Services). This provides MCC personnel with information that helps determine a family’s ability to afford tuition. CTS applications are available at sabers.org or in the school office. All information will be kept secure and confidential with CTS and authorized staff at MCC.

MCC offers low tuition among Catholic schools in Northern Michigan.
Do students wear uniforms?
Yes, students are required to wear uniforms. Uniforms promote a feeling of unity within the school and remove traditional social group appearances. School uniforms can be purchased, or parents can visit our sharing table where families share lightly used school uniforms.
Can my child attend MCC if we’re not Catholic?
YES. MCC accepts students from all faith traditions. We offer a Christ-centered learning environment that encourages students to treat each other with care and respect. Catholic traditions and teachings do take place during the school week; students from other faith traditions participate in those activities. Since substantial support for the school comes from contributions made at weekly Sunday Masses, non-Catholic families are asked to pay slightly higher tuition.
Studies show that families who send their children to schools with uniforms spend less on student clothing than their counterparts.
