Homeschool Limited Enrollment

In order to provide homeschooled students with access to our programs and facilities, LCA offers limited enrollment for homeschooled children. All families must follow the enrollment procedures for new students and be accepted into the LCA program. After acceptance into the program, costs will be based on the programs being utilized. Classes are based on a credit hour rate, while extra-curricular activities are based on a one-time, per activity fee. For more information, please contact the school office. A diploma from LCA cannot be obtained through limited enrollment.

Re-Enrollment Procedures

Re-enrollment for the fall term for present students is accepted during the month of February. This is done on a first-come, first-served basis. All tuition and fees must be current at the time of re-enrollment. Re-enrollment forms should be completed and returned with the nonrefundable registration fee to the school office. Enrollment is opened to the public beginning March 1. At this point all available seats will be offered to new students on a first-come, first served basis. All tuition accounts must be paid in full by May 31 for a student to maintain their re-enrollment status for the following year.

Financial Assistance

We have two levels of financial assistance that are available to our families through an application process. All funds are provided based on availability. All assistance is guaranteed only for the year for which it is being applied. Please contact the LCA business office if you have any questions.

Level I Financial Assistance (FACTS)

Financial assistance for families is available from budgeted school funds through an application process through FACTS. Application forms can be obtained online https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/40V9G. Applicants will need to pay a non-refundable application fee that is determined annually by FACTS. The fee for families to fill out a grant and aid application is $30.

The timeline for Level I financial assistance is as follows:
Applications are due by May 1 of current school year for assistance for the following school year; Grant notification will be communicated by May 15. Funds will be distributed until they have been exhausted.

Level II Financial Assistance (Student Sponsorship Fund)

In the event that a family has applied for Level I financial assistance and determines that their circumstances do not permit them to enroll their children due to special financial reasons, we encourage you to complete an application (no fee) for Level II financial assistance. Our tuition assistance committee will review your application and a representative of that committee will meet with you to discuss any options that may be available. Before a Level II application will be considered, an applicant must have applied for Level I financial assistance through the FACTS program as outlined above.

The timeline for Level II financial assistance is as follows:
Applications are due by June 15 of current school year for assistance for the following school year; Grant notification will be communicated by July 15. Funds will be distributed until they have been exhausted.
