Tuition
We strive to make our quality Christ-centered liberal arts education affordable for families. Tuition assistance and scholarships can help reduce overall costs. Families recognize the value of an LCS education because it offers:
- A nurturing learning environment, supported by optimal class sizes where each child is valued and encouraged to flourish.
- A strong academic foundation informed by our Christian heritage and faith. Our college-prep curriculum supports and inspires students to continually grow in intellectual understanding, spiritual wisdom, social virtues, and physical fitness.
- A well-rounded student experience through the arts, athletics, clubs, electives, service, leadership, and other enrichment opportunities.

TUITION ASSISTANCE
Through our Tuition Assistance program, each family’s unique financial circumstances are considered to help make Christian education more affordable. For K–12 students, tuition and fees may be reduced based on a family’s individual situation. We encourage families to apply if cost may be a barrier.
SCHOLARSHIPS
We offer Ministry Scholarships for families with a parent serving as a full-time ordained minister.
Pilgrim Scholarships are available to students who demonstrate exceptional leadership and community service.
Students must be enrolled for one year to be eligible to apply for Pilgrim Scholarships. Ministry Scholarship applications are available during the admissions process for eligible families.
