Tuition at LCS
Understanding Cost, Finding Support, and Investing in the Right Choice
You’ve pictured the kind of school you want for your child. Maybe it looks like a teacher kneeling beside their desk during a hard math day. Maybe it sounds like students singing in chapel, or feels like a Christ-focused community where everyone is included.
At some point, that vision meets the question every parent has to ask: Can we afford this?
At Longmont Christian School, we understand how personal that question feels. That’s why we’ve made our tuition process open, flexible, and rooted in real partnership. From variable tuition to sibling discounts and monthly payment plans, we’re here to help families find a path that works.
Ready to help your child thrive at LCS?
If you have any questions during the application process, please contact Laura Bandrowsky, Business Operations and Admissions Director, at (303) 776-3254 ext. 220 or by email at office@longmontchristian.org.

Making a Valuable Education Accessible to More Families
Choosing a premier private school like Longmont Christian School is an investment in your child’s spiritual, academic, and personal growth. We know that kind of commitment takes planning, and we work with families to find a way to make it fit in their budgets.
Variable Tuition
Our Variable Tuition model adjusts your tuition based on what your family is able to pay. This isn’t a loan or outside funding, it’s a school-supported commitment to meet families where they are. We encourage families to apply through the secure FACTS portal, even if they’re unsure whether they’ll qualify.
LCS Internal Scholarships
Longmont Christian School offers internal scholarships for qualifying families who could not otherwise afford tuition. Up to three students per grade (K-8) may be awarded scholarships that reduce tuition to $100 per month. To qualify, families must be Christian and submit a completed Scholarship Application Form. These scholarships are made possible by donors who believe deeply in the mission of Christian education. To request an application, contact our Enrollment Specialist at office@longmontchristian.org.
ACE Scholarships
As an ACE Scholarship partner school, we can help qualifying families apply for external scholarships based on income. ACE is a nonprofit that helps students access private education through additional funding.
Colorado Child Care Assistance Program
Preschool families may also qualify for assistance through CCCAP. This state-funded program helps cover the cost of early childhood education based on household income.
Discounts and Referral Credits
Families with more than one child enrolled receive a 10 percent discount, as do families with an active duty military parent and those with parents who are full-time pastors. Current school families who refer a new student may receive tuition credit for that school year once enrollment is confirmed.
Payment Plans
We offer both 10-month (August to May) and 12-month (August to July) plans to help spread out payments. Just let our office know what works best for your family.

Tuition Questions We Hear Most Often
Yes. Many families are surprised by the results once they apply. The FACTS system reviews a wide range of financial factors, not just income, and your application stays completely confidential. We encourage families to apply if tuition feels out of reach.
Most classroom materials, curriculum, and technology are included in your tuition. You may see occasional fees for field trips, clubs, or special events, but we aim to keep these low and clearly communicated. If you ever have questions, our team will help you plan ahead.
Tuition agreements are sent out each July. They include your full payment schedule for the upcoming school year. We recommend saving a copy for your records, and we’re always happy to resend it if needed.
FACTS automatically applies a $40 missed payment fee. If help is needed with the fees, please reach out to our Business Office.
Tuition is calculated as a yearly total and then divided into equal monthly payments. It’s not based on a daily rate, so even months with breaks (like Spring Break and Christmas) will have the same tuition amount.
Yes. We offer variable tuition for preschool families, but we encourage you to check your eligibility for the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program, Colorado’s state childcare subsidy program. Our staff can help you navigate that process.
