You do not need to be of the Lutheran faith to attend our
programs; we welcome all. Over 70% of our current students are
not members of St. Michael Lutheran Church. Part of our mission
is to welcome all members of our broader community. St.
Michael Lutheran School and Christ for Kids Childcare Center are open to any family regardless of
church affiliation. We do not discriminate on the basis of
religion, race, color, or national or ethnic origin in the administration
of our admission or educational policies.

Tuition Payments
The Board of Early
Childhood Ministries, the governing body for St. Michael
Lutheran School and Christ for Kids Childcare, requires tuition
payments to be made via a
free automatic withdrawal program called Excel in Giving. Submit
the Excel in Giving Member Enrollment and Authorization form and
a canceled check along with your enrolment form.
Registration Fee:
Prior to May 1st, a $100 non-refundable registration fee per child is required at the time of
enrollment, with a maximum of $200 per family annual fee. If
paid after May 1st, the fee is $125 per student/$250 family
maximum. Of these amounts, $50 per child ($100 family
maximum) can be applied toward 10/11 tuition by completing
volunteer hours.
All students are required to obtain a St. Michael
Lutheran School polo shirt (available from Land’s End or spirit
wear vendor), and wear this shirt on Fridays, field trip days
and school concerts.
Students will be participating in a
number of fieldtrips, many of which will be free to the student.
However, there are a few places for which there is a charge, and
parents will be asked to cover those costs. Once all field trips
have been scheduled for the year, a list (including any costs)
will be shared with the parents.
Multi-child Discount
A 5% family discount is applied to each child's tuition when
two children are enrolled. A 10% family discount is applied to
each child's tuition when 3 or more children are enrolled.
Thanks to many fundraising efforts and the kindness of
various individuals, some scholarship funds are available for
eligible families. St. Michael
uses the services of an outside company (Private School Aide
Service) to evaluate scholarship applications (to
ensure consistency and privacy).
Every family that seeks any scholarship
assistance must complete the application form. Then based upon
what the private company determines such families are supposed
to be able to pay, as well as what the families themselves
indicate they are able to pay, appropriate assistance may be
provided (with all families paying at least some portion of their annual
tuition costs). Any family who fails to complete such a
scholarship assistance form is expected to pay their full
tuition.
You can complete the
Student Aid Form
directly on your computer screen by placing the cursor at the
appropriate fields and typing in the information. You can then
print the completed document and save it to your computer for
your records. Applications must be filled out and returned to
the school office no later than June 1, 2010.
In an effort to
be good stewards and to maximize our giving potential, our
members have come up with a variety of creative ways people can
help pay their tuition and contribute to St. Michael Lutheran School (SMLS) and Christ for
Kids (CFK) Childcare Center.
