TUITION & FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

At DB, it costs approximately $15,500 to educate one student. Thanks to our generous and philanthropic donors, including many alumni who believe in our mission, we are able to generate an annual operating budget that allows us to charge less than that per student. We understand the extreme value of this education, and we work very hard to keep it affordable for our families. We are proud to offer scholarships, tuition assistance, and creative payment plans for our families which keeps the desirable Catholic education affordable, achievable, and available for a larger number of students.
