A Lutheran High School East education is an investment in your child’s future. Ever-mindful of the sacrifices that families make in order to make a Christ-centered private high school education a reality for their students, Lutheran East is committed to helping our families meet the cost of a Lutheran East education.
Please review the information below concerning tuition rates, assistance, and scholarships.
Lutheran East uses the FACTS system for tuition billing and collection. Families will complete an enrollment packet online through FACTS and will pay a $110 re-enrollment fee for returning families and a $110 enrollment fee for new students. These deposits are non-refundable and will reflect as a credit on your student’s tuition billing statement for the upcoming school year.
During enrollment, families have the option to choose to pay their tuition upfront as one payment, or utilize a payment plan. Lutheran East offers a monthly (11 months, July – May) payment plan, which will be be considered the default payment option. For the 2026-2027 school year, total tuition & fees is $13,000.
All payments will be billed and will require automatic withdrawal from FACTS on behalf of Lutheran East. Payments can be made through FACTS via check, ACH, or credit card (+3% fee for credit card).
Tuition payments not received by the due date will be assessed a late fee of $10. Delinquent tuition payments may result in a student being withheld from classes and activities until the account becomes current. In addition, past due accounts can also result in student not being able to return the following semester and/or school year. Report cards, records, diplomas, and transcripts will not be released until all tuition and fees are paid in full. At school year end, any outstanding account may be subject to collections at the school’s discretion.
Lutheran East expects that all tuition and fees will be paid in full by April of each school year. Should a family not fulfill their financial obligation to Lutheran East, their student may not be allowed to return in subsequent years, and may be subject to collections.
In the case a student is withdrawn or dismissed from Lutheran East at any time during the school year, families will be expected to pay any current and past invoices before records are released. Upon the start of the first day of school, the cost of withdrawal is based on the current school withdrawal policy outlined in the student handbook. The date of withdrawal/dismissal will be the date specified by the principal. Please note: All student fees are non-refundable and are assessed in full at the beginning of the school year.
Students who enroll after the school year has begun will be charged tuition on a per-diem basis beginning with the day they enroll. Fees are not charged on a per-diem basis, but instead are charged in full on the student’s enrollment day and are non-refundable.
Each student will be assessed an annual, non-refundable Student Fee of $1,500, which is included in the “tuition & fees” price listed above. There may be optional fees throughout the year that are specific to a team, organization/club, field trips, or other such activities.
All 12th grade students are charged a $150 graduation fee, which covers the costs of robes, diplomas, graduation programs, and graduation venue. The fee will be added to the student’s payment plan and is non-refundable. All payments must be completed prior to graduation in order for a student to participate and to receive his/her diploma and transcripts.
Note: Scholarships and tuition assistance cannot be applied toward fees.
Through generous support by our Association Churches, Partner Churches, alumni, and donors, Lutheran High School East is able to offer the following scholarships to further assist families:
