Tuition & Financial Aid - Lutheran High School of St Charles County

Tuition & Financial Aid

LHS graduates are extremely well prepared for success beyond high school as a result of the rigorous college-prep education they receive. Students experience a Christ-centered environment that is focused on helping them grow spiritually so that the Gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ continues to be a strong part of their daily lives beyond high school.

We would like to visit with you to discuss Lutheran High School’s tuition rates, payment plan options, scholarships and financial aid opportunities. Please contact Lisa Gnade, Director of Enrollment.
