Tuition & Fees
Tuition Policy
​
Because LUA is a private school, the only means of financing the school's operations are through tuition and fees, donations, and fundraising activities. Tuition and fees cover the cost of textbooks, instructional materials, staffing, as well as general operations.
The tuition rate for PK-8th is $6,250 per year, $6,000 for the second child and $5,750 for the third child. (Actual cost per year to educate a student is $12,000, which is why LUA depends so heavily on donations and community support.)
