Annual Tuition Pay-Down

The parent or guardian is responsible for the non-refundable, $420 Tuition Pay-Down. This $420 is then deducted from the Annual tuition; for instance $4,150 - $420 = $3,730 left to pay over 10 months, August through May.

Of the $420 tuition pay-down, $210 is due at the time of registration, and the remaining $210 is due July 1 prior to the school year.

*Non-member Assesment

Students whose families are not active members of Gethsemane Lutheran Church are required to pay a Non-member Assesment in the amount of $600.  This fee is added to, and paid along with, tuition.  Gethsemane members provide and maintain the facility.
