Welcome to
St. Lawrence Catholic School!

Tuition Rates are calculated based on Catholic Parish affiliation as follows: ·

• Discount Rate for Active/Practicing St. Lawrence Catholic Parishioners: Families must be registered, active, practicing members of St. Lawrence Catholic Parish for six (6) months prior to student enrollment. Each family’s Mass attendance will be reviewed through their use of their weekly offertory envelope. Tuition rate may be adjusted from the Full Tuition Rate after 6 months based upon Mass attendance.
• Families belonging to another Catholic Parish in the Diocese of St. Petersburg must provide a letter from their Pastor, prior to student enrollment, stating they are active members in good standing before receiving the Discount Tuition Rate.
• Full Tuition Rate: Families who are Non-Catholic or not members of St. Lawrence or another Catholic Parish prior to student enrollment.

St. Lawrence students learn to serve God and others through community service, develop academic excellence with rigorous curriculum and strive to become life-long learners.

​St. Lawrence prepares all students for academic success through primary, elementary and middle school grade levels. At graduation, more than 90% of our students attend Jesuit High School, Academy of the Holy Names or Tampa Catholic High School. Students are also accepted to other Preparatory High Schools or IB Programs.

​St. Lawrence Catholic School was established in 1961. As a parish school, traditions of academic excellence in Catholic education continue as established by its founders. Standardized testing consistently meets or exceeds state and national standards. Students are challenged individually to reach academic excellence consistent with their abilities and talents.

​St. Lawrence Catholic School provides a Christ-centered environment in which the Gospel message is integrated throughout the curriculum at all levels. Catholic faith formation and sacramental preparation is an integral part of our school curriculum. Student prayer life includes participating in the celebration of weekly Mass, community service and retreat.
