Enrollment News
As of September 2017, Bishop DuBourg currently holds the 3rd largest Archdiocesan high school
enrollment in St. Louis, improving from 4th last year (behind only regional schools St. Dominic and
St. Francis Borgia)! We also have the largest freshmen class of any of our most competitive
neighboring schools.
Thank you for continuing to believe in our mission. We are proud to provide a quality, Catholic
education for our families, and plan to for many years to come!
For questions regarding enrollment and admissions, please contact Ryan Sykora.

Please review the exciting statistics about our first three graduating classes of the Academy of
Advanced Studies! Our exceptional students continue to excel through this rigorous program, and
your student can too! To learn more about the Academy, please visit here.
Scholarship Opportunities at Bishop DuBourg
Over the last few years, we've noticed that a good number of our students' siblings attend other
area high schools. In an attempt to bring families together, we have increased our Family
Scholarships to $3,000 for the 2nd child and FREE tuition for child 3 and beyond. We realize the
financial strain attending multiple schools can have on families and we want to make Bishop
DuBourg the financially feasible choice for the entire family. While some high school's annual
tuition is upwards of $15,000 for one student - two siblings can attend Bishop DuBourg for
approximately $17,000. This comes before all other scholarships and tuition assistance. Incoming
freshmen are also eligible to receive a Presidential Scholarship worth $1500 each school year.
We want to take this opportunity to spread the word among our current families and alumni about
our scholarship opportunities. We hope that you in return will spread the word with families you
might know. We encourage you to take a look at the attached flyer for more details. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact Principal Bridget Timoney or Admissions' Director
Ryan Sykora.
