FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This school is a nonprofit organization. It is supported totally by tuition and donations. We are dependent on the faithfulness of parents to fulfill their financial commitments. Any one-time donation greater than fifty dollars (USD50) will receive a receipt from the school office.
- Tuition payments must be done through the schools account per payment schedules.
- On the l0th day of the payment month, a past due statement will be mailed; this will automatically add USD$5 to the amount owed.
If unusual circumstances have created a financial problem, an immediate request must be made to the school administrator for a board review. This request must be made swiftly, so that the board may make the review at the next monthly board meeting. All enrolled families must be current with tuition in order for the child to enter school and earn certain priority placement for the following year.

VI. WORK CREDIT AND COVENANT CREDIT
Work Credit:
Parents who are able to give eight hours of time to the school per month will have $15 deducted from their installment payment tuition fee for the first full time student or $10 deducted for the first part-time student. One may give their time by: Directly serving at the school; being used by the faculty at your own home cutting out papers: etc. cleaning at the school. If for any reason it is not possible for you to be able to give of your time, you will be able to participate with us by paying the additional tuition fee, enabling us to pay for additional help at the school. This system is in no way meant to punish those who cannot give time to the school. It is simply a way to meet the needs of the school for help and give those who cannot give time another means to fully participate. A standard of eight hours work per month has been set. If less time is donated per month it will be appreciated, but will not reflect a deduction in tuition cost.
VII. LCS DRESS CODE
LOSH Christian School is an extension of the Christian home. It is the parent’s God-given responsibility to care for the adornment and decorum of their children, teaching and enforcing Godly dress. It is important that the school standards for clothing and general appearance reflect the mission of our school. It is our prayer that you will have Godly discernment as you and your child select clothes in line with the school’s guidelines. We do expect a willing spirit of cooperation from students and parents, and the administration reserves the right to make the final decision in matters of judgment.
