Tuition & Affordability - St. Paul Lutheran School

Investing in Something That Lasts

At St. Paul, we look at tuition as a shared investment in your child’s character, intellect, and future.

We know that choosing an independent, Christ-centered education requires intentional planning and sacrifice for families. Below is a straightforward breakdown of our tuition rates, designed to reflect the care, resources, and staffing required at every milestone of every child’s journey at St. Paul.

Our goal is to be transparent about the cost of a St. Paul education, while offering paths to make this foundation accessible to families who share and believe in our mission.
