Student Fees

ANNUAL SCHOOL FEE = $125
The Instructional Fee for the 2026-2027 school year is $125.00 for Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors & Seniors. This Instructional Fee does not include Senior Prom, Luncheon & Graduation. Fees for Clubs and Athletics may be separate. As a small high school, collecting the Instructional Fee offsets important costs associated with making Richards great.
This fee is one of the lowest school fees across Chicago Public School high schools.

The fee should be paid during student registration. Please make money orders payable to Richards Career Academy.  No personal checks will be accepted. Payment plans are available during registration periods. Full payment is due before the end of the 2026-2027 school year.
