Yes! If there is available space in the class, LCCS may accept applications throughout the year. However, no applications will be accepted from August 1-October 1.

If a class is full, LCCS may still accept applications for that grade. Students that apply to a full class are entered into the waiting pool. The application fee is non-refundable. Students with applications in the waiting pool can complete the intake assessment and family/principal interview. However, acceptance is not granted and the enrollment process cannot be completed until a seat in that class becomes available.

Some classes are currently full for the 2024-2025 school year.

Any applications submitted for the following classes will automatically be entered into the waiting pool: UM-2, 3, UM-3, UM-4, 6, 9, and 10.

Applications are not being accepted and the waiting pool is closed for the following grades: UM-K, UM-1, 5, 7, 8, and 12.

No applications will be accepted during the admissions blackout period (August 1-October 1).

The LCCS Board of Trustees commissions a finance committee representing parents from both UM and traditional programs with business and financial expertise. The finance committee conducts a thorough market analysis comparing LCCS’s tuition rates to its closest Christian school competitors and examines LCCS’s current financial and enrollment position. Based on this analysis, the finance committee votes to present the LCCS board its recommendation for next academic year's tuition rates, which both strengthen the school’s financial position and ensures continuing quality and superlative value while remaining competitive in the local private school market.

LCCS remains competitive within the local market of private schools both in terms of its tuition rates and in terms of its high-quality value proposition. LCCS also remains committed to socio-economic diversity. Families with a demonstrated financial need can obtain substantial tuition assistance and discounted tuition rates through LCCS’s need-based tuition assistance.

LCCS requires enrollment to be complete prior to applying for financial aid. We encourage you to have a conversation with the business office if you have any questions about tuition and financial aid.

It is recommended that you apply for grant and aid using your current year tax return. If necessary, you can upload your previous year's tax return with W2s. For those who are self-employed and do not have W2s, a current tax return must be used. The application, along with required documentation and corresponding payment, must be completed by March 30 for priority consideration.

Notification will begin in the month of April and continue as applications are completed and funds are awarded by the scholarship committee.

Continuous enrollment streamlines the enrollment process and tells us that you want your child at LCCS until graduation (unless you choose to opt out). There are no cumbersome reenrollment forms to fill out year after year. It also guarantees your child’s spot in the class for each subsequent year and reduces the administrative burden on school staff. Learn more about continuous enrollment.

No problem! If you are unsure of your plans for the coming school year, we advise that you provide written notice of withdrawal prior to February 28 so that you are not charged the reenrollment fee for the coming year. You can then reenroll at any time when your plans become more certain. Note, however, that in choosing this option you will not be eligible for the continuous enrollment fee and your student will not be guaranteed a spot in the classroom. If you choose to reenroll later, you will pay the new student enrollment fee.

With continuous enrollment, if you want to withdraw your student before the next school year, you must notify the Admissions Office or Head of School in writing by February 28. If you change your mind, you can reenroll anytime after February 28 and pay the new student enrollment fee.

If you have not notified the Head of School or Admissions Office of your desire to withdraw by February 28, you will be automatically reenrolled for the coming school year, and the continuous enrollment fee will be processed through FACTS in March.
