Tuition

Tuition Costs
As a parish school, we receive most of our financial support from the members of Immanuel Lutheran Church. Those members young and old, have been convinced of the value of a strong Christian school for 145 years, and they have been willing to sacrifice to maintain their school.

Non-Member Tuition
Tuition is required of parents who are not members of Immanuel Lutheran Church. Rates of tuition are established by the Board of Christian Education. Payments are received in nine installments (August 15, October 1, November 1, December 1, January 1, February 1, March1, April 1, and May 1.)

Non-Member Annual Tuition Rates for the 2008–2009 School Year (Due in monthly Installments)	Grades 1–8	Full Day Kindergarten	Half Day Kindergarten
First Child	$2,140.00	$1,568.00	$940.00
Second Child	$1,157.00	$847.00	$508.00

Member Tuition
A member assessment rate is set for families that hold membership at Immanuel Lutheran Church. Payments are received in nine installments (August 15, October 1, November 1, December 1, January 1, February 1, March1, April 1, and May 1.)

A one-school-year member assessment exemption is granted to each family in an amount equivalent to the total amount contributed by the family to the parish during the previous calendar year.

Member Annual Tuition Rates (Per Family) (Due in monthly Installments)	Year 2008- 2009	Year 2009-2010
Families of students K–8, including both half day and full day Kindergarten	$1,200.00*	$1,240.00*

*Each family will be granted an assessment exemption in an amount equivalent to the total amount contributed by the family to the parish during the previous year. (For example, if a family contributed $1,200.00 or more to the parish through their offering envelopes during 2007, there would be no assessment for 2008–2009. If a family contributed $500.00 in 2007, there would be an assessment of $700.00 for 2008–2009. If a family contributed $0 to the parish in 2007, the 2008–2009 assessment would be $1,200.00)

Parents who have recently become members of Immanuel Lutheran Church, but who were members and financial supporters of another congregation during all or a portion of the previous calendar year may request through our School Principal a partial or full Member Assessment (tuition) exemption. Valid written documentation from the other congregation will be required before an assessment exemption can be considered.

Preschool Tuition
Preschool tuition is payable in monthly installments, with the first payment due at the time of enrollment, the second payment due October 1, and the remaining seven payments due at the first of each month, beginning November 1. The initial payment is non-refundable unless space limitations prevent us from enrolling the child in Preschool.

Preschool Tuition 2008–2009 (Member & Non-Member)	Costs
Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes	$630.00 per year ($70.00 monthly payments)
Tuesday/Thursday classes	$540.00 per year ($60.00 monthly payments)

Kindergarten Deposit
A deposit is required for Kindergarten enrollment. It is due at the time of enrollment, and costs $100.00. This deposit is non-refundable unless space limitations prevent us from enrolling the child in school.

Change of Status
The parents of non-member tuition students of Grades K through 8 shall be assessed "member" tuition fees effective on the date they become members of the congregation by transfer or confirmation, provided tuition and fees are current at the time.
