Thank you for your interest in Lakeside Christian School for your student. It is our prayer that Lakeside is the right fit for your family, and we are committed to helping you in every way possible. The cost of education escalates beyond the realm of normal inflation. We strive to keep our curriculums updated, have the best in instructional technology available, and add the teaching staff that meets the needs of our students. We are committed to developing an academic program that meets the needs of a variety of learners -- from the struggling to the accelerated child. In the application of that commitment is an increasing annual cost to provide an academic program of quality. Our annual tuition costs are the amount we need to run our school and meet budgets. It is also an amount that is difficult for many families in this current economy.

For over 30 years, the Lord has blessed our school ministry with the income required to meet budgets. Our desire is not to have to turn away any student due to finances. This coming year we have substantially increased our tuition subsidy budgets to provide aid through reduced tuitions so that families can enroll their students at Lakeside Christian School at a cost they can afford. Financial aid is available to all qualifying families through a process called F.A.S.T. FAST is an online financial aid assessment program from Independent School Management, Inc.

Procedures for Parents
Returning parents must complete their FAST applications no later than March 30. New parents may complete a form at anytime once they have made the decision that LCS is the school they wish for their student(s) to attend. Please note, as a general rule, when there is a split family, we require financial disclosure of all parents. FAST requires that you have completed a tax return for the prior year to get a final amount of financial aid. If you have not filed your tax return by March 30th, please fill out the application anyway and then mail the tax information when it is available. There are no financial aid awards given out without all required documents mailed and received by FAST. Just click on the FAST icon below to get started. Application cost is $34 if paid online through a secure server with a Visa or MasterCard credit card. If you do not have a credit card, a cash voucher is available at the school office through Jeanne White for a cost of $40. The voucher includes a code to allow you to complete the application without a credit card.

Once in the FAST website, click on the “Get Started” button at the bottom of the first page.

Once an application is completed, it is immediately submitted for analysis by a FAST representative. FAST will recommend an award amount to Lakeside Christian School’s Financial Aid Committee for evaluation. We will endeavor to meet the suggested aid amount within the boundaries of our school costs and remaining available budgets. Our desire is to help as many families with as much as tuition aid as possible. You will be contacted by the Lakeside Christian School Administrator when there is a final determination of financial aid assistance. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
