Lighthouse Christian School will admit students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to all students in the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions, financial assistance, athletic and other school administered programs.

Tuition Assistance

Through its Tuition Assistance Program, Lighthouse Christian School (LCS) seeks to offer a quality education to those students for whom the cost would otherwise be prohibitive. We wholeheartedly embrace the Apostle Paul’s call to “share with God’s people who are in need” (Romans 12:13) and strive to create a diverse student body of varying financial circumstances. This is made possible through a fund for tuition assistance which receives monies from the general operating budget and from donations by LCS benefactors who are committed to this mission.

Tuition grants are awarded to families based on financial need. Eligibility and grant amounts are determined by LCS' Assistance Committee after reviewing the recommendation from an independent financial assessment organization, FFNA (Family Financial Needs Assessment). Since every situation is unique, there is no maximum income level or debt ratio restriction for families to be awarded assistance. However, depending on the size of the applicant pool and the available funds, those families in the greatest financial need will receive priority. Tuition grants are not designed to support lifestyle choices that result in heavy financial stress or indebtedness. Preference will be given to families with students currently attending LCS.

Note: May 15th application deadline in order to be considered for a 10-month (full year) grant.
