Tuition & Financial Aid
Within Reach of Every Family
Tuition represents a shared partnership in the training of the next generation of Lutheran gentlemen and gentlewomen, literate and joyful defenders of the faith.
The Lutheran Classical Academy of St. David the King is dedicated to keeping its education free of secular entanglements. We accept no state or federal funding, so you can be sure that your tuition supports a confessionally sound and completely unadulterated Lutheran education. We rely on tuition, congregational support, and the generous gifts of donors who share our vision.
