    • The Dignity of Human Life
    • Family, Community, and Participation
    • Rights and Responsibilities
    • Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
    • The Dignity of Work
    • Solidarity
    • Stewardship of Creation
    We invite you to join us in prayer at our campus Respect Life Masses:
    • West Hills – October 22 @ 10:17 AM (Uribe Sports Center)

    We have switched to Clarity to process the applications.  You will need to submit current paystubs in lieu of the end of year paystubs previously used.  Documents should be loaded by November 1, 2025.  Additional items may be requested at the time of review.
     
    Your 2025 W2 forms will be needed as soon as available, Clarity will send a reminder in mid-January about this.

    Families currently receiving tuition assistance need to reapply each year.  To access the application, go to Resources section in the Parent Portal under the Tuition-Financial Aid tile.  Online resources for filling out the application are available here as well.  If you will be applying for a new student to Chaminade for 2026-27 in addition to a returning student, you will still use the Returning Family due date. Taxes from 2024 will be needed, however Clarity will pull those from the IRS, authorization is in the application.
     
    Applications received after the due date may be placed on a financial aid waiting list or will have a delayed decision.  For questions, please email financialaid@chaminade.org.
     

  • Tech Hub

    Welcome to the Tech Hub!

    Your Tech Hub is in the 200 building across the 8th-grade lawn. We aid with all school laptop-related issues. If the problems cannot be resolved at Tech Hub, we will provide a loaner laptop while the student laptop is being repaired. Loaner laptops have all the same functionality and software as student-issued laptops.

    Students are expected to start the day with fully charged batteries and bring their Power adapters on campus. If a student forgets their laptop they can ask for a loaner laptop for the day (once per semester). The Tech Hub does not loan out chargers or styluses. The library can provide limited numbers of Battery banks and Temporary chargers that can be checked out for the day if the system needs to be charged. A loaner laptop will be provided if your laptop needs to be sent out for repairs.

    We have links below to order replacements if a charger or stylus is lost:
