TUITION AND FEES
VARIABLE TUITION AT ZION:
Think you can't afford quality private school education? At Zion, we have always worked very hard to keep our tuition as low as possible. Because of the generosity of our amazing congregation, along with support from alumni, friends, church organizations, and Zion's Education League, we have been able to provide state of the art education, specialized and individualized for each student, at a very competitive price. Zion believes that education is not a "one size fits all" idea but an individualized approach to help each student succeed. We believe tuition should be the same.
TUITION BREAKDOWN:
A private school education doesn't come cheap. To reap the benefits of everything Zion has to offer including its small class sizes, individualized instruction, onsite Lutheran Special Education Ministries assistance, among other things, each family would have to pay approximately $10,000 per year, per child to go to Zion Lutheran School. See what I mean by our amazing alumni, friends, church organizations, and Zion's Education League? Because of their help, we are able to offer the same product at a significantly lower price (see below), all because so many people believe in Zion and the work we do for our kids.
