An Investment Worth Making
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes. We don't want the tuition rate below to be the reason you stop exploring LCCS, because for most of our families, it isn't the number they actually pay.
A Christ-centered education shapes more than what your child knows, it shapes who they become: their character, their convictions, and their capacity to love God and others well. That's worth investing in, and we want every family who believes LCCS is the right fit to have a real path to get here.
Every year, LCCS sets aside funds for need-based financial aid, on top of multi-child and pastoral discounts, so that cost doesn't have to be the deciding factor. If you're weighing whether LCCS fits your budget, we encourage you to apply and talk with our Admissions team about what aid may be available, we'd love the chance to help make it work.

Need-Based Aid
Financial Aid
LCCS allocates funds for need-based financial aid. To allocate aid fairly, all financial aid eligibility is first determined by FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment and then by an LCCS Financial Aid Committee review. New families may complete the financial aid application after the enrollment process is complete.
Families who wish to apply for need-based financial aid will find the Grant & Aid application located on the Family Portal > Financial > Apply for Grant & Aid. The application, supporting documentation, and $40 FACTS fee must be complete by March 30 for priority consideration. Applications completed after April 1 will be considered for awards as funds remain available.
Discounts
Tuition Discounts
Multi-Child Discount
Starting with the highest tuition (for grades K–12): deduct 5% for second student, 10% for third student, and 15% for each additional student.
