New students pay two fees within ten days of acceptance. The first is a non- refundable $1,500.00 tuition deposit, which is applied to tuition. The second is a non-refundable $1,500.00 enrollment fee.


Returning students pay a $1,500.00 re-enrollment tuition deposit annually, which is applied to tuition. This non-refundable deposit reserves a student's place for the upcoming school year, subject to the student's satisfactory completion of the current year. Families may choose between three tuition payment plans: one annual payment, two semester payments, or 9 monthly payments. A finance charge of 12% applies to the semester and monthly payment plans.

Tuition does not include charges for textbooks, Advanced Placement exams, athletic spirit packs, certain field trips, and graduation. These fees and similar charges vary by grade level and will be charged where applicable. Example of charges can be found by clicking here. Tuition Refund insurance is required of all new families on the semester or monthly plans, for two years and is optional thereafter.

 



 

FINANCIAL AID

 

Lake Highland Preparatory School strives to provide socioeconomic diversity within our school. We recognize the educational value for all students if the student body is socioeconomically diverse. Our financial aid program was established to enroll highly qualified students who otherwise would not be able to attend Lake Highland due to financial reasons.

Lake Highland offers need-based financial aid to qualified families with students in grades 6-12. Lake Highland does not offer academic or athletic scholarships.

To objectively determine each family’s need for aid, we use Independent School Management’s program, Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST). FAST provides the school with a detailed analysis including a recommendation of how much a family could reasonable contribute toward tuition. FAST does not determine whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give; FAST does provide a need-based financial aid analysis service. All information from FAST is kept confidential.

In order to receive financial aid, candidates must:
  • Have a solid academic record with at least a 2.5 GPA
  • Have strong character and integrity
  • Be involved in activities outside the classroom
