Making Our Lady of Sorrows Academy Affordable: Have you considered Our Lady of Sorrows Academy for your children, but think the cost of tuition may be out of reach? Arizona is one of the states that promotes school choice for families by making private school affordable through tax credit scholarships (A.R.S. Section 43-1089). To date, the total amount of scholarships received for the 2020-2021 school year by our Academy parents has been over $100,000! The Academy is hosting one such reputable and well-funded scholarship organizations (STO) to inform us about this program and how parents can maximize their financial benefits. We extend the invitation to all parishioners. Details: Institute for Better Education (IBE) presenting in English and Spanish at OLSA Performing Arts Center on September 10, 2020 at 7:00 PM.
