St. Isidore School utilizes SMART Tuition Service, a third party tuition collection firm, to handle our tuition payments.
When you set up your account, you have several options to choose from:
- Receive a monthly mailed statement to be paid by check
- Auto debit your bank account, no fee involved
- Automatically charge your credit card, with a 2.65% convenience fee applied
All families must enroll in the SMART Tuition Service to make their tuition payments.

Please note, there will be late fees applied for an outstanding balance and a bank fee charged if they are unable to debit your bank account as scheduled.
Why Electronic Payments
As a private Catholic school, we are constantly looking for ways to hold expenses down and to concentrate our available resources on our primary mission of education.
The SMART system is very user friendly and is just like the online banking and bill payment services that most of our families are already familiar with and utilize.
