Tuition, Financial Aid & Scholarships
The person your child will become is worth it.
Tuition combined with the generosity of our community and LCA stewardship is what ensures LCA students have the very best. Together, we make it possible for every graduate to step into the world prepared, confident, and faithful to who God is shaping them to become.
What’s included in an LCA education?
8 : 1 STUDENT : FACULTY RATIO
LCA students are known, loved, and cared for on an individual level by their teachers in intentional class sizes. They are not just a number. LCA is a community for the whole family, and within our walls, students create meaningful friendships that will carry well beyond their years here.
100% COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE RATE
Individualized college advising and an intentional career exploration process means all seniors are headed onto their next steps, prepared for the school that fits him or her best. Schools like MIT, Harvard, Princeton, UConn, Villanova, Gordon, Wheaton, Baylor, Regis, Michigan, WashU, Purdue, are proud to have LCA graduates. The class of 2025 received over 8 million dollars in scholarships and 10% chose to attend Ivy League schools.
68% STUDENTS OF COLOR AND 25+ COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
LCA students experience a wider breadth of culture in a diverse community. Through the Imago Dei team, diversity is celebrated and every student is invited to share their story, traditions, and perspective. This rich exchange of learning from one another’s backgrounds and experiences allows students to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to live in community.
2,000+ ALUMNI NETWORK
LCA students are part of a community for life, with access to mentorship, career opportunities, and connections that span industries and generations. Building relationships and finding support are always just a conversation away—right at your fingertips.
Becoming begins here...
This is where LCA students will do things they never thought they could before! Here they will become athletes, public speakers, champions, artists, worship leaders, scientists, mathletes, actors… all preparing them to one day become the CEOs, entrepreneurs, coaches, astronauts, lawyers, pastors, missionaries, and teachers of tomorrow.

Here’s how we continue to grow and make tuition possible for you:
LCA’s scholarship program is sustained by our endowment, built over time through the generosity of hundreds of donors who believed in making Christ-centered education accessible for future generations.
Thanks to donor-funded capital improvements, we steward our campus year-round (with summer camps, rentals, and partnerships) that generate auxiliary income to help fund financial aid.
Philanthropic support helps close the gap between what it costs to educate and what it takes to grow. This investment is what turns a great year into an extraordinary one—expanding programs, supporting faculty, and driving forward our strategic vision.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid applications are submitted prior to the February 1 deadline. Financial aid is need-based and available on a rolling basis depending on when all admission and financial aid materials are submitted. Use our Clarity portal below to submit your financial aid materials and feel free to reach out to our admissions office with any questions!
Our Clarity Code is 7850
SCHOLARSHIPS
Thanks to the generous partnership with the extended LCA community over decades, we are able to award up to one million dollars of merit-based scholarships to eligible students.
Current LCA students will qualify for various scholarships given each year. There is no application process on behalf of the family.
New students enrolling for the 2026–27 school year will have their application materials (including test scores, recommendations, transcripts, and other relevant information) considered in the scholarship review process. This will ensure that the scholarship committee can evaluate all incoming students fairly in the nomination process.

Rest assured, admissions and financial aid committees are separate, so every student’s admission decision is made independently from the financial aid process.
I wanted a school that would challenge me academically, allow me to pursue all the things I loved, like music, and open me up to new opportunities, like playing a sport or taking a new foreign language. After touring LCA and experiencing how godly and welcoming the community was, I decided that LCA was the school for me. Four years later, I stand by my choice and am so glad that I came to LCA!
