St. Fabian School (MI)

What St. Fabian School (MI) does

St. Fabian Catholic School is a parish-affiliated Catholic school serving preschool (age 3) through 8th grade students in Farmington Hills, Michigan, operating under the authority of the Archdiocese of Detroit (AOD). The school is fully accredited by the Michigan Non-public School Accrediting Association (MNSAA) and its preschool programs are state-licensed. Core academics follow AOD curriculum standards, including Wonders reading, EnVision Math 2.0, and FOSS science, supplemented by specials (Spanish, PE, Music, Art, Technology). The institution reports STAR standardized test scores above national average.

The school operates on a tuition-based revenue model supplemented by registration/technology fees, fundraising (Catholic Services Appeal, E-Giving via Pushpay, Heart capital campaign, SCRIP), and ancillary program fees (Kids Club YCare before/after care, Children's Religious Formation, Sacramental Preparation). Pricing includes a $400 family registration fee, $350/student technology fee, $100 lunch supervision fee, and $50 new student application fee, with tiered religious formation tuition of $165-$500 depending on family size and registration timing. The school's go-to-market is community-led: parish membership drives inquiries through the RenWeb inquiry platform, with priority admission given to currently enrolled students, siblings, alumni families, and parish members participating for at least one year. The customer base is concentrated in active Catholic families in the immediate Farmington Hills geography.

Operationally, St. Fabian integrates a standard EdTech stack — RenWeb for school management, FACTS for tuition processing, STAR/Renaissance 360 for assessment, Edmentum PASS for personalized learning, and Boonli for hot lunch ordering — alongside a parish website powered by eCatholic. The school is part of AOD's Planning Group 8 under the Synod 16 restructuring initiative and recently broke ground (May 30, 2026) on the Heart of St. Fabian capital campaign, which adds an event center, adoration chapel, and social hall entrance. Governance sits with a School Advisory Committee advising the Principal (Ms. Courtney Nixon) and Pastor (Msgr. Timothy Hogan), with no external equity ownership.
