Variable Tuition
Lighthouse Christian School is committed to providing an accessible, high-quality education built on a Biblical worldview. We recognize not only the importance of a Christian education, but also the investment families make to secure that priceless gift for their children.
Our variable tuition program provides a customized tuition rate for students in grades K-8 for whom the full cost of education may otherwise be prohibitive. We believe that economic diversity enriches the whole-school experience for all families and is important in creating an authentic and thriving Christian community.
Variable tuition is a system designed to make private education more accessible by adjusting tuition costs based on each family’s unique financial situation. It is not a “one-size-fits all” tuition approach. Tuition costs range from 45%-93% of the total cost to educate a student.
