The registration process allows parents to pay fees, set up tuition payments, enter contact information, report on their child/ren’s educational background, sign off on school policies, and more.  

Please note: if you have moved parishes since you last registered your child, you will need to provide SJB with an updated Pastor’s Authorization Form in order to qualify for Category 1 or Category 2 Tuition. Without this form, you will be classified as Category 3.

CURRENT FAMILIES:
A current family is a family with one or more children who attend St. John Brebeuf. Current students do not need to reapply to SJB.
