Tuition Costs 2025-2026

 

Tuition Payment Options

For our Preschool through High School students, annual tuition is due on August 1.  For parents’ convenience, this annual tuition may be paid in one, two, or ten installments. 

For students in the Infant Care and Two-Year-Old Programs, annual tuition may be paid in one, two, or twelve installments (depending on contracted start month). 

All installments are remitted through our tuition company, FACTS, for an annual processing fee of $55 for ten monthly installments (or twelve monthly installments for families of infants or two-year-olds) or $25 for one or two installments. 

Auto-enrollment payments will continue to be remitted through our tuition company until families choose to "opt-out".

Auto-Enrollment Opt-Out Deadline

Once a student is enrolled at MLS, they are considered enrolled until they withdraw in writing or graduate from high school. Written notification of withdrawl must be directed to and received by the administration. Merely notifying a teacher is not considered official notification. All financial obligations must be met before any records will be released to the parents or the new school. When a family opts out of the Auto-Enrollment process they are considered withdrawn all upcoming school years.

Withdrawing After the Opt-Out Deadline

Withdrawal fees vary depending upon the time of withdrawl. All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Withdrawal for the upcoming school year:

November 30th–February 1st — No fee.  Auto-Enrollment Opt-Out Deadline
February 2nd–May 31st — Full Enrollment Fee — $500 per student
June 1st–July 31st — Penalty Fee - $500 per student

Withdrawal for the current school year: 
August 1st–December 17th — Tuition for 1st Semester (no additional fees)
December 18th–Last Day of School — Tuition for 2nd Semester (no additional fees)

Financial Aid

Memorial Lutheran School offers need-based tuition assistance to students entering Kindergarten through 8th grade. Donations to our Little Lambs Scholarship Fund makes this possible. All financial aid is based on the need or financial status of the student’s family, the number of qualifying requests received and the amount of financial aid funds that are available. A student must be accepted and pay the enrollment fee before applying for tuition assistance.

How do I apply for Financial Aid?

 

FAST is an independent third party that handles all aspects of the financial aid application and verification process. All financial aid monies are awarded by Memorial Lutheran School based on the information provided on the online FAST application. FAST does not award any financial aid, or decide whether financial assistance will be given; rather, FAST provides a need-based financial aid analysis service to Memorial Lutheran School which includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition.

Financial Aid Application Link will be available in January 2025.
