I just did. Education at retail is bloody awful expensive!

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


LOL; we certainly think so, and are convinced seeing how things always
work out for the best.
