- TADS is a required tuition management program chosen by the Diocese of Colorado Springs to assist their schools in tuition and fee collection. There are two tuition payment options available to parents. One option allows monthly payments based on a 10-month plan (July-April) or 11-month plan (June-April) with a small annual contract fee. The second option is an one-time payment (in full) with no annual contract fee. Both options require payments to be made to TADS.
