It all depends upon the school. Our Lutheran elementary school charges
on
the order of $4200 per year, our area Lutheran High School in Phoenix is
approximately $6500 per year. The quality of education is high, the
teacher student ratio is low and the environment much more conducive to
learning.
That sounds good. I think I've heard around $8K for a (not Lutheran)
church high school a few blocks from where I live.

Out of curiosity, are the schools completely funded from tuition fees or
is there additional funding from other sources?


In the case of the elementary school, we try to set the tuition to equal
the cost of education. As is the case for all non-profits, other donations
also help to keep the tuition cost affordable. The high school is also
funded by tuition fees and other donations. In both instances, there is no
external funding from a higher-level entity if that is what you were
asking.


As a Lutheran institution, I would expect your funding is controlled
by the very *highest* level entity
