Tuition And Fees

Tuition and Fees 2023-2024

Our tuition and fees only cover a small portion of what it actually costs to educate a child at St. John Lutheran School. The actual cost exceeds $7,000 per full-time student each year. However, our congregation is traditionally quite supportive of our school and the ministry it provides to our community and contributes about 60% of our total expenses. The remaining cost is covered by tuition, voucher income, etc. We try diligently to keep our tuition as low as possible so that any family who desires a quality, Christ-centered education for their child might have the opportunity to do so. Financial aid is also available for any family that applies and meets the qualifications.
3K (T, Th) $1,175 $1,175
3K (M, W, F) $1,475 $1,475
4K (M-F) $1,740 $1,740
K-8th $2,150 $2,850
  • There is a registration fee of $100 (non-refundable) for each child enrolling in SJL.
  • The registration fee must accompany the application form and is applied to tuition.
  • Some programs, such as middle school band, have additional fees.
