In our Extended Day Program (EDP), students can complete homework in both the morning and afternoon sessions. Our EDP room is stocked with age/learning appropriate toys, games, and books. Teachers and/or students lead various clubs, as well, and these change year to year and have included: choir and orchestra practice, Math Lab, various gaming clubs, and sports practices. Saint Olaf has parents and students involved in both Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troops. Intramural basketball is offered in the winter season. Volleyball is offered in the Fall. 

Tuition is set by the Diocese of Salt Lake City and is the same for all regular Catholic Elementary Schools throughout Utah. Fees are set by each individual school and cover mostly administrative and programming costs, including tuition collection and management, administrative supplies, professional memberships and subscriptions and special program fees. More detailed information may be found by visiting Tuition & Fees.

You may select a one time payment in full or select from several payment plans through FACTs (a third party agency). Automatic withdrawals are processed by FACTs once you have set up a payment plan.

The majority of our alumni attend Judge Memorial Catholic High School located in Salt Lake City or Saint Joseph Catholic High School located in Ogden.

Saint Olaf offers need-based reduced tuition. The application process is also through FACTs (third party agency that handles payment plans and fair tuition). FACTs computes a fair tuition amount based on financial information submitted and then makes a recommendation to Saint Olaf School. If you have children in other Catholic schools, only one application is necessary and the Fair Share Tuition will be coordinated between the schools. To be considered for reduced tuition, income information from both parents is required. Fair Share Tuition is not a scholarship. Despite losing the difference between reduced tuition and set tuition amounts, we highly encourage you to apply and we will work with you. We believe every child deserves a Catholic education. Saint Olaf offers several other ways to afford tuition, for details visit Affording Catholic School.

No, students do not have to be Catholic. We accept students of all faiths. Currently, our enrollment is approximately 40% non-Catholic. All students will receive religious instruction as part of the regular curriculum because we firmly believe our Catholic faith formation makes all the difference! Equipped with a solid moral foundation, and heart to serve, our students can transform the world around them.

We require our teachers to have a bachelors degree, a teaching license, and pass a background check. While understanding the benefit of certifications, we also recognize the significant value of degrees in related fields, work experience, knowledge, and natural teaching ability. So, as we select the very best teachers, we may look beyond certificates and work with teachers as they complete licensure programs.
